Exaggerated by our cultural cancer of exulting the gratification of individual desires to the point of gluttony... at the expense of personal responsibility and community well-being... or the well-being of future generations, or maybe just the planet and all other life... When <em>that</em> is made as socially repulsive as littering, we'll be getting somewhere. “human hubris”

Almost everyone drives cars though so I do not suppose that will even become a "problem." Litter is a much smaller although easier target. Its like smoking.
