Here in the US we have a problem with distinguishing between freedom to think, speak and worship and freedumb to make a mess for everybody else.
It would have been better if the founders had exactly specified what they meant by freedom, which surely was not "you should be free to end your septic sewer at your property line" (if it were otherwise we'd be smart enough to ignore their advice, yes?).
"This Conceptual Analysis traces who pays for environmental footprints, focusing on the current US economic system and environmental regulatory regime. With some important exceptions, carbon, water, and material footprints, and consequent waste generation, are largely uncompensated negative externalities. This leads to natural resources being underpriced and overconsumed, resulting in natural capital being depreciated, the ecosystem services it generates being underprovided, and the inclusive wealth of future generations being undermined. Through trade, atmospheric and hydrologic processes, nearly all footprints are geographically displaced at a regional to global scale. While inevitable and necessary, environmental load displacement is unequal to the extent that footprints are uncompensated externalities. The transfer through trade of unpriced or underpriced environmental footprints thus lies at the heart of challenges of environmental unsustainability and injustice."

"Drivers are being urged to slow down and watch for volunteers along Alberta highways Saturday as the province marks 50 years of its annual highway cleanup initiative."
Actually, the provincial government is urging drivers to SPEED UP (120 km/h trial), so that's completely incoherent, #FreeDumb style.
More than 12,000 volunteers set to hit Alberta highways as RCMP urges caution https://discoverairdrie.com/articles/more-than-12000-volunteers-set-to-hit-alberta-highways-as-rcmp-urges-caution
