Much respect to Ian Kieran who started Clean Up Australia back in 1989 which has now grown to be Clean Up the World.
and this is exactly what the wise and wonderful Ghandi said all those years ago:
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”. As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.
If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. And so the world around you will change. Not only because you are now viewing your environment through new lenses of thoughts and emotions but also because the change within can allow you to take action in ways you wouldn’t have – or maybe even have thought about – while stuck in your old thought patterns."
The disposable throwaway mentality that we all seem to have adopted has got to end. Consumerism and over-consumption is totally short-term thinking. Here's to ethical & green consumerism. What was wrong with how our grandmothers went shopping? And DON'T LITTER!

weirdly , di don't think you would find a person who disagrees with all that has been said, but on mass people behave differently, so if they go to the movies they will buy throwaway, if we eat sushi we use throwaway chopsticks, e do it b/c that's what they serve and we don't question it.
but deep down we all know its wrong
