This is a real public service announcement that David Lynch did for a clean up NY campaign. I love David Lynch.
Yes that's right kids, you shouldn't litter or else the world will get filled with creepy music, wet rats and a ton of spooky shadows. And really - someone should clean up NYC. And when they are done there, they should give SF a good scrubbing too cuz that place is a filthy motherfucker...
Fun Facts:
Why do people litter?
- The feel no sense of ownership, even though their taxes pay for the upkeep of roads, parks and beaches.
- They believe it is someone else's job to pick up after them. Sometimes it is indeed someone else's job to clean up after them which compounds this problem, no doubt.
- Litter has already accumulated... somehow.
- People suck. It is important to note however that if Dogs or Cats had thumbs and could logistically buy snacks, fast food or booze - this problem would be much, much worse.
Litterbug Facts
Although motorists and pedestrians are often blamed for littering along roadsides, there are actually eight primary sources:
- Household trash handling and its placement at the curb for collection
- Dumpsters used by businesses
- Loading docks & slobs who don't like to work on or near loading docks
- Construction and demolition loads
- Trucks with uncovered loads
- Pedestrians
- Motorists
- Assholes*
Litter is blown away by wind and traffic or carried by water. It
moves until trapped by a curb, building or fence. Once litter has
accumulated, it invites people to add more.... so basically - it IS trash's fault. Way to suck, trash.
