Why do you make excuses?
If I took a sh*t in your living room and left it there would you say - ah well it's an education thing, I'll pick it up? I remember the time when my own brother fresh out of hospital for testicular cancer asked me for a lift to my parents and on the way home he threw a sweet wrapper out of the window. I stopped the car and made him go back and pick it up. Watching him try to bend down to get it was strangely satisfying! We both enjoyed the same education. I simply do not buy into this education bull****, there are sink estates in Britain littered with burnt out cars, used needles and excrement. If you want to do that in your own back yard to make a point then there's no amount of education that's going to put it right.
This is just a bone idle don't give a damn attitude that makes this place what it is. I choose not to drop litter not because I had a better education but because I know the difference between right and wrong. This was instilled in me at birth. I choose to try to cause a minimum impact on the environment so that other people who I will probably never meet can enjoy the same experiences that I have had. It is not education it's just thoughtfullness, kindness and a love of your fellow human kind. Not all of us are like-minded.
