Denial of Personal Responsibility
The saddest thing of all to me about this is that the denial of personal ownership or responsibility toward the environment I see and hear from others is usually not one of mean-spirited selfishness or an intentional callous disregard for what is happening…it can seem petty and grasping, but that’s because so many people feel they can’t afford to make any changes in their life that would help this problem.
For example, The big business that dumps their run-off might say they can’t afford to use non-toxic industrial cleaner, while individuals might say they can’t afford to buy non-toxic dish detergent.
