Respect

Respect and consideration for others are increasingly diminishing. 

Many politicians don’t debate; they try to score points and don’t seek to move an issue forward.

Fly tipping is a huge problem not too far from where I live and people throw plastic waste out of their cars so it’s lining the the sides of the road. The financial cost to the public is likely significant, not to mention the detrimental impact on public wellbeing, the harm to wildlife and the environment.

Yes, it’s cruelty to wildlife as many animals haven’t evolved to deal with plastic getting caught like a noose around their necks, as happens to seals, swans and other species. The evolution of modern plastics and other ‘disposable’ materials has contributed to the issue even though it isn’t a direct cause.

Then there’s space junk which could become a risk to our planet and species in ways that aren’t fully understood yet. 

Respect and consideration could save our environment and the world from destruction.

Indeed but it takes companies and governments, not just individuals, to effect really major change, sadly.

Of course, but the companies are made up of individuals, at least the majority are for now.
