Those are interesting, but every one is an attempt to make the viewer feel guilty about something.

No, it's trying to make you think.

Two million plastic beverage bottles every five minutes?
106,000 cans every 30 seconds?

What should be stirred is not guilt. Guilt doesn't help anyone. Instead you should think about what you do with your plastic bottle/ can/ piece of paper when you've finished with it. We don't have infinite space for landfill - recycling/ reuse is a no-brainer and I think this is a clever way to bring it home.

We'll run out of oil to make all those nifty plastic bottles long before we run out of space to put them. REcycle isn't the no brainer we're led to believe; there is a pretty crappy ROI in recycling, in some cases it uses more resources to recycle. The real thing we need to think about is not creating so much garbage in the first place. Less packaging, and maybe making things which can be repaired instead of replaced. for starters. Just my .02
