What goes around comes around. A couple are merrily enjoying their disposable lifestyle adding regularly to the endless waste that is taken from their door and swiftly forgotten. The boffins? Well they have to find a way to dispose of this ever increasing mountain of garbage. "We know!", think they - "let's bury it". Next thing we know, the wife is digging their garden and she hits the methane equivalent of an oil strike. Then another. When the husband takes a great big pick axe to take his turn we find that even some distant space aliens know what happens next. This is quite a simply drawn but potent little animation clearly indicating that if mankind just drifts along taking the planet for granted, then we might not have one to live on for too much longer. It's simple and straightforward and the characterisations, though maybe a little stereotypical in their appearance, still make their point well.
