Pictures of people in the company of their weekly amount of garbage

Pollution is a global problem, so it is convenient to place the bulk of the blame on the big polluters. But as always, one must first sweep in front of one's own doorstep. Admittedly, we diligently separate the waste, thus treating only the symptoms, while the disease - quantity - remains, as shown by the photo series "7 Days of Garbage" by Gregg Segal.

We tend to really overlook people only when they tell us a mirror. And in this case too, it is for us Reached just said the dirty truth, the one we ourselves considered for a complete lie. We did not see a clear picture of drunken consumerism, but the project "7 Days of Garbage" I hope it will only sober us up. We buy things we don't need and thus only complicate the world even more spiral of pollution.

Those miles only amplified Earth's call for help and our footprint, which moments ago seemed shoe size 38, turned into a footprint the size of a Cyclops foot. So let's start with ourselves. Let's buy the things we need and take something wind from the sails capitalism. This will be a small step for us, but a giant step for Earth, to paraphrase Neil Armstrong.
