MessageNot recycling a piece of paper or a bottle does no short term harm to the individual. Eating food that has not been correctly prepared does. Where the matter is a factor in purchase decisions, information is sufficient. Where the matter does not involve purchase decisions, such as rubbish disposal, just information does not affect behaviour as no deeper or more considered thinking is involved.

When you go to the supermarket, or the butchers or greengrocers, you make conscious choices as to what you buy. When you put out the trash, you just put it out without choosing anything. Do you see a difference now?

MessageGreat argument there. We are referring to the empirically verifiable behaviour of people, and you reply with a theoretical legal concept. Hum, that is going to change people's behavour a lot, we don't think.

Random fact: When forming a cabinet, try to include as few parties as possible, while still obtaining a majority of the seats.

Random quote: "Up against the corporate government, voters find themselves asked to choose between look-alike candidates from two parties vying to see who takes the marching orders from their campaign paymasters and their future employers. The money of vested interest nullifies genuine voter choice and trust." - Ralph Nader
