While packaging leads to some pollution problems you only have to see the results of large gatherings in outdoor events and even in some stadiums that America has a problem with people who don't care, don't think its their job, or worse think its cool to trash a place. In many places you just have to look along the side of the road to see the problem. Where I am it is a common use of prisoners to clean up the shoulders.
Children are the best chance of changing it all up. Get them early and emphasize the positives while not dwelling on the negatives. Plus it is always good and sit down and see if we are living up to our own standards. Its one thing to complain on a message board it is another to set an example and hold to it
When it comes to packaging its going to take a combination of consumer pressure and possible regulation. What we must not do is react stupidly like the recent straw bans because when people mock something they don't respect the reasons behind it and it cascades.
- NeedMoreTea 8y agoI think we have to go at all sides. Young kids are definitely part of the solution. Though by the time they reach teen it often seems any and all interest in tidiness has vanished. They'll usually regain it in some years. :) Humans of all ages will be lazy and inconsiderate at times. Accept that as a known and cater accordingly. Fewer and benign materials, decomposing harmless materials and systems that encourage consideration like use of deposits on containers. Require more of retailers, manufacturers and event organisers. Once a few bins overflow and it no longer looks that tidy a lot fewer people will care to dispose carefully, etc...
