ufw warning. - Raydog - 26th July 2017

I was checking the status of ufw in Konsole and got this:

sudo ufw status verbose
[sudo] password for <my username>:
WARN: uid is 0 but '/' is owned by 1000
WARN: / is group writable!

Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
New profiles: skip

Emphasis added by me.

I've never seen this in any other distro that I've used. Is this something that I need to change?

Note: I am the only user of this computer.
