GOING DOWN THE DRAIN
I worked at a small business that used cars in their daily deliveries. To save money, the brothers who owned the business would conduct most of their own maintenance on the vehicles. As a result, they would periodically be involved in doing tune-ups, changing oil, and other such activities. One day, I noticed that the brothers would pour the old motor oil down the drain rather than take it for recycling. This troubled me because I knew how greatly old oil can add to the degradation of the environment. I brought up the subject with them and they laughed it off. They told me that, as a small business, they did not have the time or the money to be concerned with the “niceties” of life. We discussed it several times, and they made it clear they would not change their ways. I didn’t know what to do. I liked this job. The location was perfect and the people were nice (in every other way). I wanted to keep working there until I finished school. However, I felt that I shared in the responsibility for the damage caused by the oil if I knew it was happening and did nothing about it. If I reported it to someone, I knew they’d know the report came from me. What could I do?
1. Is NIMBY involved here? If so, in what way?
2. Do you share in the responsibility for negative action when you know it is happening and say nothing?
3. What would you do if you were in that position?
