A well deserved punishment.
I think you are a bit illusionary about the understandings of our citizen. Most people don't dispose their waste illegally because it's - well - illegal. Why would you risk getting cough for something so stupid? Of course it is still possible, there some people just throw their trash just out of the car window, but over all, repression works.Ah, but you live in a space-confined nation, where every citizen understands the impacts of waste disposal, energy extraction, water purity, and public safety.
