Keep America Beautiful (unless of course you have something better to do and will just get to it later - hey look, a distracting celebrity on TV)

"71 Things You Can Do to Stop Pollution" - This video seems a little dated... but that's the tragedy of it. It's been 37 years since this public service announcement... can we say that there is any less pollution today? Plus, notice that the ad seems to focus a large portion of pollution on what seems to be individuals littering. To me pollution is more likely not trash, but fossil fuel emmissions in the air and factory chemical byproduct waste in the water - putting trash in the garbage instead of the ditch isn't preventing the pollutions that were made when the item was manufactured... way before it became trash. These larger problems seem glossed over at most. All and all this video does have a general message that is as relevent today as ever before.
