Hmmm …it was effective in making me concerned about littering as a child. I’d say it was a good thing.

I always found this ad moving and it did impact me and how I view the land.
The purpose and success should supersede the feelings of those who found it offensive because of the actor.
Maybe we should retire Shakespear and turn back over all representations to the English?

To me, what it changed was our heart attitudes for the Earth.
Greed continues to destroy it. Sad, but true 👍

Sadly while it may have appeared to be to stop littering and protect the environment it wasn't.
It was the plastics lobby shifting the blame onto consumers for plastic waste and littering because there has started to be some ideas of banning it or taxing it.

It hit people like a wave of reality.
Everyone was talking about it.
Many things changed because of it.
A history making image.
