"People Start Pollution, People Can Stop It."

Comment: Who remembers this commercial? When I was in the boy scouts, we completely cleaned up a camp site after use. We would fill in the latrine, carry the trash out, and rake and smooth where the tents were.

More: “People Start Pollution, People Can Stop It.”
So intoned William Conrad in a famous anti-pollution commercial of the 1970s.

Keep America Beautiful launched the "Crying Indian" public service TV ad on Earth Day in 1971. In the commercial, Iron Eyes Cody (the Crying Indian) sheds a tear at the sight of littering motorists.

Keep American Beautiful was founded in 1953 by members of American business, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and concerned citizens. Ironically, Iron Eyes Cody was an Italian-American, born Espera de Corti in Kaplan, Louisiana in 1904.
