Do you care about environmental protection?

Do you purposefully litter or take the step to dispose of something properly?

@Ynotisay: I don't always recycle but I never litter.

@InvaderNice: OK. Do you not litter because it's illegal?

@Ynotisay: Not sure what you mean. Are you asking what's my motivation for not littering? It's mostly fear of judgment.

@InvaderNice: Fair enough. So if there was no judgement do you think you would just throw your garbage on the ground?

@Ynotisay: Not sure. If I had to guess, I would say no.

@InvaderNice: Got it. Thanks. So as I see it you, as one person, really DO make a difference. That garbage that you might otherwise throw on the ground, which typically will cause some level of harm to the environment, ends up hopefully being disposed of properly. And what we do when no one is looking is usually the biggest driver in to how we all live collectively. The added benefit is that without your garbage on the ground someone else won't be as apt to litter. That speaks to what you mentioned about "judgement."

If you've ever been to Disneyland you've probably noticed how clean it is. Yeah...they have staff picking up but what's really at play is that people are much, much less apt to litter in a place that's clean as opposed to a place that's filthy. If you've ever been to a third world country where pollution and litter is out of control then you know what it's like to be around the alternative.

My point is that your personal decisions, as one person, really DO make a difference. If you make your world a cleaner place that impacts the world I live in too. That's the ripple effect. So the next time you toss something in the garbage, or recycle, you'll be getting a virtual high five from me.

@Ynotisay: Haha. Thanks
