Here in Ontario, Canada there's a five cent deposit on beer cans. If half the cans were beer cans our man here would have $250CAN. Not a bad return on one day when you are down and out.
I find this short doc is interesting enough but it doesn't make any real point with much force. Is it about littering and lack of respect for public places, economic conditions and income, recycling? What exactly does Stella get out of this?
Dunno, but the message of this piece seems to be simply that recycling doesn't pay (at least if you go about it like Mike Arnott did). Personally I think recycling as a concept cannot be bad, but WE SHOULD STOP ACCEPTING THE ONUS BEING PUT ONLY ON US CONSUMERS, AND WAKE UP, GODDAMIT, WAKE UP!!! WHY DON'T GOVERNMENTS PASS LAWS THAT MAKE BIG BUSINESS GO GREEN & REDUCE THE NEED OF MOST RECYCLING IN THE FIRST PLACE?? BECAUSE BIG BUSINESS IS BIGGER THAN GOVERNMENTS, THAT'S WHY.
I love it because inspire us to think and act. This is a simbol. doing this way he inspires other to do a his - her part two. If each of us start doing something a big moviment will occur. All creative and unique parts put together means something bigger that the total.
I go through the trash cans and take out the cans and put them in my trailer, which is almost full. I help the enviroment and also make some money while at it. I go for miles on my bike and search for cans. I have a basket on the back and front of it. Usually both baskets are overflowing when I get back. I go about once a week.
Good work Mike!

you should have used public transport as it's more environmentally friendly! lol. nice video, illustrates a point well in an unusual way.

I think it's silly - cause the person just does it for television and not every day or for idealism.
