Perhaps you have seen the animated movie Wall-E about a robot left behind to clean up the trash on a now uninhabitable earth (ok that one may be a little far-fetched)? Or a well known documentary titled Trashed, narrated by Jeremy Irons, 2012 which gives a holistic view of why garbage is harmful. While we put it in the trashcan and just watch it go away, our landfills are full of toxins that affect us and our environment. It's no longer an "out of sight, out of mind" issue.
