irresponsibility

noun

Etymology: From ir- + responsibility or irresponsible + -ity.

1. The character or state of being irresponsible; lack of or freedom from responsibility; want of accountability.

   “How important can the greenhouse effect, biodiversity or future worldwide timber shortages seem to a third-worlder, for example? It would be wrong to think of this third-worlder as irresponsible or as a squanderer of resources before serious steps are taken towards solving the well-known and much worse problem of resource squandering and environmental irresponsibility in the developed nations.”
