Rational beliefs should be able to withstand scrutiny and opposing arguments. The inability to do so indicates that the belief is more about personal bias and emotional investment rather than objective analysis.

    I’m not going to say you are wrong if you don’t litter, but I don’t think abstaining from littering is a moral duty. if it can break down in the next month, or is a natural mineral or metal, I don’t think “littering” is a big deal.

      Well sure, no disagreement there. However when talking about plastics and other stuff that remains there in the nature for decades I’d find it really difficult to justify.
