When I was a child, I was taught not to waste water or electricity, not to litter and to generally respect the environment and all animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would always switch the lights off when leaving a room. I would try not to take long showers. I would never throw a candy wrapper on the street, and so on. I think I was just being a normal human being. However, as I grew up, I noticed that not everyone behaved with the same respect towards animals and mother nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward twenty years or so, and all the news talks about is how we have littered and abused our planet and keep doing so. This is what many rivers, lakes and seas across the world look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
