According to a study by Newcastle University, people are less likely to drop litter if there is a pair of watching eyes printed on the packet or wrapper.

Researchers found that if a pamphlet had images of eyes, the likelihood of someone dropping it on the floor reduced by two thirds.

The research comes after previous studies which had concluded that posters with watching eyes reduced littering and bike thefts.
