A quote found in a Greenpeace advertisement states: "It wasn't the Exxon Valdez captain's driving that caused the Alaskan oil spill. It was yours" (ADEC, 1993). It is vital that we promote the protection of the environment and strengthen the laws that prohibit waste dumping so the surroundings stay clean and healthy; otherwise, the direct output of this concept -- the existence of humanity in the years to come -- will be questionable.
