Garbage is a universal problem, more so in developed and developing countries due to their extensive use of plastic, junk food and their packaging. In the U.S., the average American produces more than 4 pounds of garbage per day, and that is 50 percent more than the amount produced by Western Europeans. To put that into perspective, California photographer Gregg Segal created a series called “7 Days of Garbage” that shows his friends, neighbors, and strangers from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds lying in the trash they created in one week.
