RE: Do you treat public places like a garbage? Are you conscious of your waste?

in #ecology7 years ago (edited)

I do not belive that it is possible to cultivate enviromental concious behavor in the short time. But it is possible to create the cult of good manner, There is the other way - through penalties.

In Singapore public smoker will pay penalty starting from $ 500 and can be jailed for short term if been cought in the same situation during 2 weeks after first incident. Looks extreamely severely, but if there could have been an option big penalty or 20 hours of street cleaning, I think the planet could had looked better.

Haha, yeah, when people don't want to use self-control, the externally imposed control gets put in place to stop them. Community service would be the best thing I guess.
