The average American produces 4.4 pounds of trash a day, and on the whole the United States produces over 250 million tons of trash a year! A new public service advertising (PSA) campaign introduced by the Ad Council and Keep America Beautiful (KAB) aims to inspire the nearly two in three Americans who do not recycle regularly to make recycling a part of their daily lives.
