A civilised society

I want a land where the people own the woods and forests, where all people especially children have access to a public library, where it's easy to recycle items, where young children can cross roads safely going to and from school. I thought I'd grown up in a country where these were accepted norms. I suppose I took them for granted. Now the very fabric of what makes a civilised society is under threat.

The tragedy is that most people will not notice till they're gone.
