Adrian Kondratowicz is tired of the “bland and mundane” black trash bags tossed onto city sidewalks. His dream is to see an entire swath of Manhattan south of 14th Street with lined with cheerily colorful polka dotted bags for at least one week.

I've seen dirtier places than New York City. I think it's actually pretty alright.



Anyway, in response to JC's comment... yeah. wtf? Why is everyone so concerned about making the garbage bags look pretty and 'artsy'?

The bags are costly to make and are not yet a “mass product,” Kondratowicz noted. He sells signed bags as collectors items — or for trash, if a buyer chooses. The bags range from $10 for the pink with white polka dots to $25 for gold dots.
It all just seems to unnecessary, y'know? Spending so much money on bags that serve the same purpose as the regular black ones... and some people might collect them? Are you kidding me? And making the garbage bags prettier won't convince more people to not litter or whatever.

But yeah, good job on the eco-friendly thing.
