Purchase A License To Use This Image Buy A Print Or Product Featuring This ImageMounds of trash and garbage are piled high into a veritable mountain of debris at a landfill site illustrating waste management, environmental and ecological concerns and issues. The amount of garbage mankind produces each day is staggering. We now produce in excess of 3 billion tons of garbage a year. That is enough to line garbage trucks up end-to-end from the earth to the moon. A huge proportion of this waste is packaging. Conservation is necessary. Recycling and ethical, ecologically sound packaging can go a long way towards solving our trash and garbage elimination problems.
As photographers it is our responsibility to create photos and pictures that will help move society in a positive direction. We need to produce compelling imagery that can be used to motivate populations to behave in a more ecologically sound direction. By putting a face on trash, garbage and waste we can bring people's attention to these pressing concerns that threaten the future and health of all mankind, indeed of all life on our planet, our world. Our rubbish, garbage, trash and junk are contaminating the earth, water and air of our planet!
This image is part of a collection of images I am creating to help push sustainable practices, recycling, and responsible stewardship of our planet. This collection is in its infancy but already includes some powerful images of tidal waves of trash, oceans of garbage, mountains of waste, and actual pollution of beaches of the world.
