> Here s. a suggestion
for school teachers:

Ww ‘about | “organizing
- garbage collection experi-.
‘ments with your students to.
help make them realize what
they. have an _- obligation’ -
toward the ‘environment? |
What about getting ‘them to”
collect, all. the litter: in a.
typical block in town and”
- count the number of pieces? |
‘Then, a week later, repeat
the process and find out how |

many pieces are dropped in
seven days.

“They. could then estimate
how many pieces should be.
picked up each day ‘to.
eliminate the problem.. In
other words, if each person.
in-town could. be induced to
pick up one piece. of litter a
_ day, that might be enough.

_ You- would then discuss this

- ° with your kids and: come to
_the conclusion, perhaps, that —
_ the. grown-ups would never
— do- such. a usefull rd but.

“the point that it seems to
me has to be made is that we
-have been raised in a society _
which: tells us over and over

_ again that we have rights but
rarely: ‘mentions responsibil-
ities... Democracy,

- told, “gives us inalienable
rights but we are rarely told
that. the true ‘basis of
democracy is personal res-
ponsibility because, without

‘Responsibility to the en-
vironment is a fundamental
part of this responsibility and
it is’ easy to demonstrate to
students that the responsh.
_ bility. starts in the school |

__ itself. At’ present, students

—that society will tidy up
after them. ‘‘They’’ will do
something. The janitor will
do it at school; the street-
“the - government will do

something, if I flush pois-

Why “not? Doesn't society —
have an obligation to look |
after me? Doesn't society

make me happy? And does-

n’t this all start in the schools
where students are lead to
believe that it. should all be
