Then there is the problem of placing a collective problem squarely on the shoulders of the individual because societal leaders neglect their duty to provide a solution. Disposable batteries and fluorescent light bulbs are a good example. Both are considered toxic waste and almost everyone knows that they should not be just dumped in landfills but disposed of through careful recycling and recovery of the toxic components. Yet, the responsibility for proper disposal is placed fully on the consumer. Doing the “proper disposal” often means a long drive, wait, and expense to take these items to designated recycling centers which, on top of that, often have limited collection hours available. The result is “good” people who regret tossing their batteries into the ordinary garbage do it anyway because doing it right is simply too expensive in time, effort, and money. And even though ostensibly illegal to do so, there is virtually no enforcement to actually punish anyone for improper disposal. What is Creator’s perspective and advice for concerned individuals wanting to do the right thing?

While you have identified a small-scale problem, it is in its way emblematic of how little things become bigger things over time, and that is the point, to start a process going that instills a false promise, some new technology that serves a short-term need and creates an advantage but comes with a downside, in this case, containing toxic materials that will contaminate landfills and often end up absorbed into groundwater and represent a growing level of toxicity in drinking water. The fact such things happen again and again and again across the entire spectrum of so-called "modern living" and its many technological conveniences is rarely called into question in a serious way. If anything, this, too, becomes perverted. The government may respond to a criticism by calling for more study, and this may create an influx of new government hires and regulatory bodies who will be charged with looking into a problem and finding solutions, and implementing the enforcement of a growing list of rules and regulations. Modern society is already choking on the large body of existing governmental oversight. This is not an accident but an intentional planned design that is creating a kind of quicksand people have walked into and, manipulated by complacency, do not yet realize how deeply they are sinking and how difficult it will be to escape. It is not that the hazards are clearly known and defined with industry and the governmental bodies simply embracing selfish interests and cynically allowing massive harm to proceed unchecked. The problems are often obscured and masked by faulty thinking and corrupt perspectives engineered to alter human thinking through mind control manipulation. In addition to the complacency, there will be suppression of many impulses to explore potential weaknesses and shortcomings so they are not given a priority and studied in a way that allows a true understanding of the hazards to be generated. Scientific investigations either do not get going or are corrupted in ways to limit the possibility of gaining a true perspective through faulty experimental design and even corrupting test results through a direct manipulation of the data by the interlopers. What this means is, even if science is carried out, it might be entirely faulty in the execution—that offers little hope of things changing in a timely way for the better.
