|description='''The Hidden Life of Garbage''' is a short documentary about recycling and waste in the US, based on the book of the same name. Amongst the points made by [[Heather Rogers]] is how manufacturers collaborated to defeat efforts to prevent the switch away from sustainable and recyclable packaging such as glass bottles. A series of TV advertisements successfully introduced the concept of the 'litter lout', the film shows, as a way of shifting responsibility for pollution away from manufacturers on to consumers, to deflect criticism of their decision to embrace disposable packaging.
