Corner Trash

(Sadly my scanner was only working well enough to bring to my desktop just two images, then a failure to be able to upload a second image just leaves me with one! more to come soon.)

Trash can seem somewhat invisible. Occupying vacant spaces often a visible part of landscape. There are a few things you can really do to trash when a typical person encounters it. One option is to throw it away/recycle and the other option is to leave it as it was. Many suffer the conflict of taking action and the compromise physical disgust or discomfort. Others simply don't think twice about it and yet there are those who embrace it. Trash that it. No matter how you choose to look at it, it is always going to be there. Day and night, rain or shine. As we progressed into a nation of consumers, we also stepped the amount of waste we produce, substantially. Therefor we have our 'green movements', new legislature, etc. Trash is very much dependent on its human vector, think of it as an obligate parasite. It has resistance to most forms of its eradication. Once the human vector breaks the seal of a material good, trash is inoculated onto earth. Natural materials will eventually biodegrade into the earth because organic compounds breakdown into nutrients in the soil. The inorganic materials that we produce have no hope of doing so, at least not for quite some time. Therefore as long as we produce or consume, trash and waste is born.
