Hope in Reversing Our Thinking and Doing

This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forwards. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite. This is only a minute and 44 seconds video and it is brilliant!

This video was submitted in a contest by a 20 year old. The contest was titled 'u @ 50' by AARP. This video won second place. Take a minute to watch it.

Here is my attempt at applying this brilliant idea to the problem of litter in the environment:


We will sucuumb to life on a planet devastated by waste pollution.
I do not believe that
I can do something about mismanaged waste in the environment.
This may come as a shock but
litter is a considerable problem in the enviornment
is a lie, and
litter is an acceptable and desirable behaviour.
One day community members alike will know that
waste pollution is not an important environmental issue.
No longer will the general public feel that
we have our priorities mixed up.
The pursuit of happiness
is more important than
engendering ecological stewardship.
I tell you this
in the future environmental degradation like litter pollution will be tolerated
No longer can it be said that
community members care about the state of the environment.
It will be apparent that
litter pollution in the environment will continue to multiply
It is foolish to presume that
there is hope.

This may turn out to be true, unless we reverse this thinking and doing...

There is hope.
It is foolish to presume that
litter pollution in the environment will continue to multiply.
It will be apparent that
community members care about the state of the environment.
No longer can it be said that
in the future enviornmental degradation like litter pollution will be tolerated.
I tell you this
engendering ecological stewardship
is more important than
the pursuit of happiness
We have our priorities mixed up.
No longer will the general public feel
that waste pollution is not an important environmental issue
One day community members alike will know that
littering is an acceptable and desirable behaviour
is a lie, and
litter is a considerable problem in the enviornment.
This might come as a shock but
I can do something about mismanaged waste in the environment
I do not believe that
we will succumb to a life on a planet devastated by waste pollution.
