Photographer Gregg Segal has created a photo series showing his friends, neighbours, and relatives from California posing with one week’s worth of their trash. The project, called “7 Days of Garbage”, highlights how much garbage people throw away in such a short time span. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found that every day, the average American will generate over 4 pounds of garbage per day. Segal noticed that some people were not even willing to bring all of their garbage to the shoot. See the photos in “7 Days of Garbage”.
