The American Ad Council ran the Crying Indian ad on Earth Day in 1971. It is one of the most successful ad campaigns in advertising history. The slogan was “People Start Pollution, People Can Stop It” If you remember this commercial then I can safely guess that you are over forty years of age.
www.thewall.net/view/547/psa-native-american-1970s/ “People Start Pollution, People Can Stop It,” a public service announcement featuring the now iconic "Crying Indian," Iron Eyes Cody. Interestingly, Cody was not actually of Native American ancestry, but Italian.

His last film was Ernest goes to Camp!
Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
Yes Iron Eyes Cody. He was a big hit when I was a kid.
old tires and used plastic oil cans. too heavy!
Just to defend myself here...Obviously, if I see a student litter I ask them to pick it up and dispose of it properly (though most of the public probably thinks the teachers stand around and let the kids do anything). Amazingly, it is often next to a trash can. When I spend my lunch duty picking up trash, it is not trash I saw somebody throw down. It's all over the grounds of the school.
I hope that lots of kids (and adults) see me pick up this trash and decide it's not a terrible thing to pick up some one else's mess.

Very well, carry on.

try this: make it a teachable moment: for each piece of trash they drop, make 'em pick up 20.
