Littering, Pollution and the Question of Equal Accountability
Littering is not a good thing, in fact it endangers our society and human health alongside other living things and that's why it's essential for us to dispose waste properly. The happening around the world today is that many have raised concerns about how it seems government tend to punish individuals when they liter, but are more linent when it involves a company, but is that right and should it be the way to go? Absolutely not, and that's why I'm of the opinion that everyone should face the consequences of their actions regardless of their capacity, wealth or statues, only then can we make our environment a safe haven.
You can punish a individual for littering the environment because they throw something improperly and not do same to companies, because the truth is companies even make large Waste that a single individual and that's what's I felt the punishment shouldn't even be the same. To bring about a safe environment, we all have a role to play, not just the companies and definitely not just individuals, all of us including the government have a role to play and I'll take about it below, so let's get to it.
The first role to bring about a clean environment where there will be no littering will start with the government, and what the government need to do is set up a environmental regular, that guide on how we should dispose waste and the consequences of not doing that, they should have a transparent blueprint for regular and consequence, so that no one will feel like they're being targeted, witch-hunt and the likes, so once you do something you'll know the consequences of your actions, also government must be consistent with these, not act today and overlook tomorrow, consistency makes people know government are serious with a policy and learn to live according to it.
Proper investigation is also important, we can't just always blame companies for all the waste around them, because sometimes individuals dump waste outside a company just to avoid paying for Wats disposal, and that's why government shouldn't just assume or jump to conclusion is ditching out punishment, thorough investigation should be done to know who's actually responsible and that's where we need CCTV cameras for in our street, to monitor does who liters alongside many other things that can happen in our society.
Overall, like I said earlier, we all have a role to play and that's being responsible and accountable collectively to make our environment a haven, that's both clean and healthy to live in, and also in the process setting the right standard for the future generations to follow by, so that we won't have them walk in a terrible path that'll cause harm to our society, marine life and everything that makes our environmental clean and safe to life in, without our improper disposal causing us harm like flood and the likes.
So every should face the consequences of their actions, not just individuals and not just companies, consistency is the key to making our world a better place.
