After looking at his current work it almost seems like he is Anti-American due to his many depictions of things Americans do.This stuff is interesting and is a real global problem not only United States.When I was younger it was not a big deal for the trash to go out the windows of peoples cars.Compare that to present time I think we have made a step in the right direction and it keeps evolving with new products that don't have such a heavy impact on our enviroment.We are trying to change but it takes time.I'm afraid what we've done in the past hasn't started to come back to haunt us yet.

I agree. People seem to be starting to realized that at some point, all that trash will have a lasting effect. Just take a look around at any of the places we fish. The banks of the canal are filthy. Styrofoam cups, beer cans, lure packaging, fishing line, clothes, etc can be found all over the place. How many times have we heard about fishing access being closed down because the neighborhood residents were sick of all the trash? Out of the people on these boards that smoke cigarettes, who doesn't think twice to toss their butts out the window or on the ground? Next time you're waiting at a stop light, look down on the ground next to you.

Fortunately, some areas of industry seem to be trying to take steps in the right direction. I've seen biodegradable plastic shopping bags and food wrappers showing a bit more prevalence. Consumer programs for recycling are increasing, with the help of many towns requiring residents to recycle.
