Examples … say you leave the tap running while you brush your teeth, leave a light burning when you go out or you drop a piece of litter and can’t be bothered to pick it up.
Colloquial style You know that all those things are wrong, but so what
You get to choose: do you want to use your life to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment

… Millions of gallons of water would be wasted, millions of lights would be left burning, millions of pieces of litter would be dropped.
