Quote from John Steinbeck

American cities are like badger holes,ringed with trash----all of them-surrounded by piles of wrecked and rusting automobiles,and almost smothered in rubbish.Everything we use comes in boxes,cartons,bins,the so-called packaging we love so much.The mountain of things we throw away are much greater than the things we use.-John Steinbeck,TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY:IN SEARCH OF AMERICA.
