We still litter our streams and environment. Something has happened to the generations following mine.
We have leadership that de-emphasizes important issues like our environment. Do we even hear the term “littering” anymore? There are the signs and the fines, but is there personal responsibility or guilt anymore?
I see crews picking up litter by the roadside and organized stream and beach-front volunteer groups, but is there a message being sent anymore? And that is not to foul the very cradle in which you sleep? Prevention should be in the “lesson plan.”
Personal environmental awareness must be passé today. Ironically, we are bombarded by the marketing of “green” technologies and choices. They all have a price tag. We still don’t understand the contiguous nature of consumer choice. We purport green technologies yet elaborately package and ship items from afar under the guise of “green.”
