Putting billboards -…

Putting billboards - especially eletonic billboards - along the proposed highways would be distracting and dangerous. It would also be ugly in the same way that litter is ugly. However, this litter (the billboards) would be in our lines of vision not lying in the grass and ditches at the edge of the road.

We live in a consumer society where advertisers are using psychology to convince us to buy more and more. The result is pollution of the soil, water and air. 0verflowing landfill sites, deforestation, endangered species and climate change with melting ice caps, raising seas and acidifying oceans. We need to reduce our use of the natural world - not put up bill boards which will result in more consumption.
