Especially when you have a system to hide behind. The short animated movie 'the story of stuff' shows the needless, but ongoing massive creation of rubbish, and why we do this.

Lifestyle change in the parts of society that create huge amounts of waste would make a far bigger impact. Unfortunately, people are beguiled by novelty but resist change - particularly if it involves making any personal sacrifice. Traveling in North America is such a clear contrast to your journey. Safe travels. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 04:21:25 +0000 anna http://www.going-south.tv/rubbish/#PageComment_376
