The Human Touch (9) - 28 July 2019

The Human Touch (9) - 28 July 2019
To walk the streets of our towns and cities is to see a large part of how we are killing the planet. There are multiple levels to the problem. There is what we use (I am not against managed consumerism) and how we dispose of it (clearly deficient). The main fault in situations such as pictured here is with the perpetrator but there is fault too with the authorities who are often tardy with clearing up.

This is Railway Street between Balfe Street and York Way, London, N1. The hazard signs read, ironically, Danger of Death. How true for the Earth.

No need to wonder why the wee gold star.
We'll always overlap politically on this subject.
Doomed we be...
Oh, and the New Gusanito & her mates thank you for the appreciation.

You criticise the “authorities” for not reacting quickly enough, yet why should we rely on others to clean up our mess? What infuriates me is that in these cash strapped times we waste millions employing people to tidy up after us. Plastic in the oceans is just the tip of the iceberg. The appalling scene of neglect that you portray is, sadly, all too familiar.

You have a point insofar as rubbish should be disposed of thoughtfully in the first place. However, where the authorities do come in is on two levels: firstly, given that there is a problem caused by humans, there is a requirement to make our environment(s) more attractive (if only for visitors) and healthier (for all). Secondly, the authorities nationwide and up to government level are massively deficient in recycling policy and provision. The whole thing is entirely half-hearted with detailed policies varying from borough to adjacent borough and serious grounds for reasonable doubt that some of the purported recycling takes place at all.
