#305: Saving the planet starts at home

I disliked being disciplined by my parents into doing daily chores, things like making my bed and tidying my room.

Yet, somewhere along the way it all began to make sense. It became second nature to keep my space tidy and also as show respect for those who share my space. Now I am pleased that I was taught to take responsibility for my space.

I now think that people who show no respect for their personal space, at home or at work, are unlikely to show respect for public space. And this lack of respect is killing our planet.

Once again our world leaders are wasting their time have talks about saving the planet. And we are wasting time waiting for world leaders to lead us to a healthy planet. No meeting of world leaders will save our planet until parents teach children to respect personal space. Only parents have the power to save our public space.
