It's a joke, but you could pour out all their garbage and segregate it in your way :D
I wonder what they would think about it...
Also, you could look at both, society and person of authority, as if it they were leaders, so the previous steps would apply.
Of course more questions arise from that, for example to what degree they imposing instead of leading, what leading means etc.
I hope you get the gist of what I'm trying to say :)
I completely get it! Trust me, I reflect on all of those. These are not easy problems, since on one side, society requires us to do what others tell us now and then in order to maintain public order. A the same time, there is a moment when you realize that something is not right and have to take action. How do you know you are doing the right thing vs just be rebellious because you don't want to do what you are being told? Not so easier to discern.
