Its the way its being done, Ea. From the time I (and every schoolchild) was a young, I was taught littering was bad. I was taught why it was bad. To this day.......I can't litter. And if I see a child at school litter..........they go pick it up. I don't care how old they are.
We didn't need a law to force us not to litter. Education served that purpose.
But now, laws are being passed forcing people to do something they most likely would do anyway if the information were out there, and there are alternate choices.
We don't like being forced.
