“…The outcome of the survey showed that lowincome households need support in terms of quality education and disposal facilities while high-income households need support in terms raising awareness on the problems of littering. Though self-initiative and parental guidance constitute a good approach towards improving the littering behavior of children, they are not sufficient [12]. The researchers suggested that future research should explore the effectiveness of religious education on the littering behavior of children.…”

Littering contributes significantly to environmental pollution. Previous studies have noted that children are more likely to litter than adults. This target age group can be easily reached through mobile applications and games. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of a gamified application in raising awareness on the effect of littering in the environment. We developed a gamified app, called DoItRight to promote an environment friendly behavior and improve the littering behavior of children. The DoItRight app is in Arabic language and targets children between 5 and 13 years old. It is a gamified application that enables kids to learn the importance of picking up litters and dropping it in trash cans. The app was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) standardized instrument which was administered on the target audience. The results of the evaluation showed that the DoItRight app has an SUS score of 93.25 which represents an A+ grade and a percentile range of 96 to 100. This indicates that the DoItRight app is technically usable and can potentially serve the purpose of increasing kids' awareness about the downsides of littering on the environment.

The effectiveness of e-waste collection depends on organizational and social factors. Individuals should have easy access to collection points and be aware of proper methods of e-waste disposal. This article investigates the availability, usability, and occurring irregularities of the container collection of small-waste electrical and electronic equipment. The study explores the attitude and behavior of individuals when disposing of small-waste equipment in the South of Poland. The results show that ninety-five percent of supermarkets’ managers responsible for waste management find a growing interest in the disposal of small e-waste by individuals. An increasing number of collection containers encourages residents to dispose of small-waste appliances. More than eighty-three percent of respondents are aware of proper methods of e-waste disposal. Additional information campaigns addressed to residents are required to prevent mixing electrical and electronic waste with other waste and to encourage the disposal of small e-waste. The intention to dispose of small e-waste was declared by only thirty-two percent of respondents. Containers with discarded easy breakable items, such as lamps, should be removed more frequently. The collection containers’ noticeability is evaluated by individuals as of average difficulty. The containers in supermarkets have simple designs and labels indicating the category of waste for disposal. The containers installed in residential areas have attractive designs and advertising slogans. The individuals expect the containers should be available in more locations that are easily accessible from households. The results of this study should be helpful for local authorities, waste collection companies, and waste electrical and electronic organizations, to support design, location selection, and information campaigns for small e-waste container collections.

“…37 This condition is in line with research that indicates that a child learns about right and wrong starting with simple things in everyday life, including keeping the environment clean and throwing rubbish in its place. 38 Other research also reveals that students will treat their environment in accordance with their family's views on the environment. If the interactions within the family are positive, then the emerging attitudes will be positive.…”
