RE: If You Don't Know Where To Invest: Invest Into This Planet! 🌄 Sustainability Starts With Consciousness And The Will To Change
I wonder what kinds of incentives can be offered to encourage better behavior. Threats of fines and punishments don't work.
If there was a fine on these doings, I bet it would help at least a bit.
Look at places like Singapore where you're not even allowed to eat a chewing gum walking down the street. These locations are totally clean.
First of all, you need to educate people from the very beginning. If these things were taught at school, we wouldn't face the problems we're facing right now later in time. But the little ones learn form their parents - the ones who throw the plastic bottle out of the window...
Well, "Don't Litter" is taught in the US from preschool Sesame Street programs through college, and it doesn't stick. And I am leery of just demanding more government control as a real solution. Perhaps tax breaks for those who participate in verifiable cleanup projects would be a better government incentive.
