I havethefeeling we live in a very selfish society.

About two weeks ago, I was at a refuse disposal site disposing of some garden waste. I was cleaning up the mess I had left, when a man said "don't do that men are paid to do that".

I ignored him and carried on. This week, the same thing happened again, only with a different man. I replied such that's the way I had been brought up, to clean up after me.

Neither of these were young men. What chance has the younger generation got if their elders have attitudes like this? Is it any wonder the streets and highways are covered in litter?
