In the 1970's, few seemed to care about the environmental problems 
caused by population growth.  However, some insightful folks anticipated 
the problems and began to work on solutions for the impending doom.

These folks created and operated a recycling outfit and made it easy for 
the population to do the right thing: recycle.  Still, some folks were 
downright insistent that *they* weren't going to recycle, and that they 
were going to throw newspaper in the trash and old oil down the sewer.  
Eventually, these folks were not allow to dump their waste in the community 
landfill and were force to sit in their own stink.

Appropo of nothing.  Just a story I remember hearing as a kid.
