litter
well we live out in the country, and we have to drive a long way to town, we encounter trucks full of litter, not just from smokers. we see full garbage bags along the road, and see people constantly throwing out the fast food containers as they empty them, and soda cans galore, in fact once in a while you will see people collecting them. i think i live in the litter capital of the world. i call it ignorance and lazyness.

I see a few people who pick up litter at a nearby Trail that I go to. I find it commendable as well.

Yes, littering is an awful blight on our landscape! I'm almost ashamed to admit this but, the landscape along many of the highways here in New Jersey are covered with all sorts of garbage, and it looks so terribly unattractive! And I don't know why car manufacturers bother to install ashtrays in the cars, when everyone seems to just toss their butts out their windows anyway!
By the way, I too remember that "crying Indian" commercial. And I hate to dampen one of your childhood memories, but guess what? That particular actor actually wasn't an Indian at all! He was an Italian actor named Espera Oscar de Corti ( who died in 1999 ), who frequently played American Indians in Hollywood films from the '30's all the way up until the '80's, appearing in such movies as The Big Trail, The Scarlet Letter, The Great Sioux Massacre and A Man Called Horse! See? Sometimes you can't always believe what's in front of you . . .
