I watched a multi-part series on this several years ago. After doing so I was thoroughly disgusted at mankind. I recently found myself in agreement with something California did 
when they passed a ban on plastic shopping bags. I don't remember if it was done at a state or local level but would support a similar ban on a nationwide level. I haven't watched the OP video but the real ecological damage is being done on a smaller level with the tiny bits of trash, some down to the microscopic level causing serious damage to the environment. I'm no tree-hugger but peoples trash habits disgust me to no end.
I'll see if I can find a link to the video series and attach it.

Yes, it's different.

The paper grocery bags made a much nicer package when carefully bagged. I remember being taught how to bag groceries, we had the watch the items as they came down the rollers at the checkstand and decide on the fly how to bag them properly We built a foundation, filled the center, kept certain like items together and segregated other items (household cleaners). When we finished, the manager would cut the sides of the bag and lay them out flat. If the contents stayed in a stacked tower, you passed. Now they just toss things in a plastic bag in whatever sequence they come off the belt, no thought process involved.
Kroger started the major push to plastic bags as a cost cutting measure and paper bags were eventually forced out almost everywhere.
The environmental impact of plastic bags is becoming a concern but according to this site Paper or plastic? Plastic. | Environmental Impact the plastic bags are actually more environmentally friendly than the paper bags.
The reusable fabric bags are an option but they have to be washed or they become bacteria laden.
Maybe I just need to eat less to save the environment.

I make the trek from Hendricks Co. to Indy's east side every day. It's a daily occurrence dodging coffee cups and McD's sacks thrown out of windows.
I also recall reading about a condom patch somewhere out in the ocean...
we have a road here in Greene County named "Rubber Tree Rd" because everybody throws the rubbers in the tree...
This has been going on for decades. There's a patch out in the Pacific where the currents recirculate, and this traps the floating crap. It took a long time for it to be noticed because it's far away from any air or shipping routes, so nobody saw it.

I don't have to drive anywhere, they throw it in my parking lot for me.

Every waste water treatment facility has a strainer room that catches the crap soaked condoms. They are a real problem. Pretty gross watching someone shoveling condoms out of the strainers into drums. Don't flush them! On the other hand, I guess I am happy for all the people that are getting lucky
Dang, that stuff makes it all the way to the Pacific ocean?

They throw it in my front yard too.

You know it. I pick up crap all week.
We were sitting in a line of traffic not long ago and the car load of A$$ Hats in front of us just casually dumped all the trash from a few drive through trips at the fast food joints out on the street in front of us. We were sitting still so my son jumps out, picks it up and puts it back in the car. They were in shock. Of course they threw it out down the street once rolling with the full one finger salute but they got a face full of "WTF is wrong with you"
Yeah, we are just bully's I guess.
