The fact that the amount of litter has not decreased despite a supposed new awareness spurred activist Rob Greenfield to revive a work of art from 2016.

At the end of his experiment, the litter’s wetsuit was properly inflated, and Greenfield, who had been minimizing his litter for nearly ten years, could barely get through the narrow lanes, as evidenced by the video.
