Reflection # 1 - Where do your environmental ethics lie?

My environmental ethics lie close to biocentric, everything has a meaning to be on earth and in our biodiversity. Some people think its okay to treat the environment like garbage because they dont think anything of it.  Everytime someone litters something that isn't decomposable our environment gets a little more sick.  People do not know how bad our environment actually is or the point its getting to. 
For example, I was on a trip in Toronto, taking a bus downtown and I saw a lady dump a whole bag of undecomposable garbage on the side of the street, and no one said anything to her, like it was normal to litter a whole a bag of garbage on the street. I don't think that is acceptable at all, nor is it right to think you can just do that.
If it werent for the plants, animal, insects, or trees we wouldn't be here today, and i don't think people realise that.  The sad part is, is that they treat the thing that brought the world together like garbage.
