Pigs In Space... - Intergalactic Trash

We throw away countless tons of plastic packaging that will last an eternity, buried with the rest of our waste that has been shipped to someone else’s back yard. We throw cigarette butts out of our cars and into the streets - oblivious that this is still littering whether everyone else is doing it or not. We drive our vehicles to school, to work, to the grocery, to the mall, to the post office, to our friend at the end of the street (one block away), and 99% of all the other places we go to - spewing the by-products of gasoline engines.

And by we, I mean humans.

We are notorious for being wasteful and for throwing our waste into the places we live - not always visible but, always present. Well, the German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, just published an article on space junk. I guess we do need something to fall on our heads to get our attention.
