cody ironeyes was pretty famous (The indian who cried tears when he saw litter on the ground of America)- he was an italian

Keep America Beautiful’s actions have been criticized as greenwashing. The organization’s narrow focus on littering and recycling diverts responsibility away from corporations and industries.[16]
Despite self-identifying as having Native American ancestry with the stage name of Iron Eyes Cody, Espera Oscar DeCorti was of Italian descent.[9] This sparked accusations of cultural appropriation and racial stereotyping.[17]
Heather Rogers, creator of the 2005 documentary film Gone Tomorrow. The Hidden Life of Garbage and book of the same name,[18] classifies Keep America Beautiful as one of the first greenwashing corporate fronts. She asserts that the group was created in response to Vermont’s 1953 attempt to legislate a mandatory deposit to be paid at point of purchase on disposable beverage containers and banning the sale of beer in non-refillable bottles.[19][20]
Keep America Beautiful’s narrow focus on litter, and its characterization of litter as a consumer created problem, is seen as an attempt to divert an extended producer responsibility from the industries that manufacture and sell disposable products to consumers who improperly dispose of the non-returnable wrappers, filters, and beverage containers.[18]
Elizabeth Royte, author of Garbage Land, describes Keep America Beautiful as a “masterful example of corporate greenwash”, writing that in contrast to its anti-litter campaigns, it ignores the potential of recycling legislation and resists changes to packaging.[21]
The tobacco industry developed programs with Keep America Beautiful that focused on cigarette litter solutions acceptable to the industry such as volunteer clean-ups and ashtrays, in lieu of smoking bans at parks and beaches.[22] The tobacco industry has funded Keep America Beautiful[22] and similar organizations internationally.[23]

OK. Checks out. She’s an Indian.
Don’t forget thee high cheekbones!
Also, I work for a company in a highly regulated industry, and trust me, it is HIGHLY regulated. The amount of money that goes into making sure every ounce of even slightly dangerous material ends up in the proper place is mind-boggling.
Did anyone else have a hard time reading this article. I still don’t know who Cruz is and I’ve read it twice.
Okay, so you have to go to the other imbedded article to know who she is. Greenfield’s article is verbatim from the other authors article. Wow-that was ten minutes I’ll never get back.
Nope, Chief Italian Guy shedding a tear over the environment was followed by Princess I Wanna Job at Harvard who now has set up her teepee in the halls of the Senate
My cousin remembers those trips as being cold and dirty from living in tents in the woods, eating crummy food, getting bit by insects, and having to learn idiotic dances and chants and various Cherokee crafts and skills. He hated all of it. With blonde hair and blue eyes from his Polish ancestry father, my cousin did not even look like any of the real Cherokee kids he met or even much like his mother.
Several years after my aunt's death, my cousin took a DNA test that was a gift from his daughter. The test showed that his mother had zero Native American ancestry. Digging through a box of old family papers revealed the truth: his mother was of Greek and Italian ancestry, which accounted for her dark hair, brown eyes, and olive skin tone.
As best as my cousin could figure out, his mother, a stone solid racist, used the Cherokee ancestry claim to explain her features as something other than possible black ancestry. Sadly, my aunt suffered from dementia in her last years and was viciously critical and racist toward the nursing home staff who cared for her. My cousin, a dutiful son and a good sort, tipped the staff well and apologized profusely for his mother's trying nature.
The response to anti-littering campaigns was something unique.
It seemed that the instant it was pointed out to us not to throw trash out the window, we suddenly saw it clearly and stopped, all of a sudden we could look at the trash on the side of the road and realize that we should not throw out our burger wrappers and car garbage, it was an instance of the pre-immigration Americans having something brought to their attention and us collectively going gee, you are right, we just hadn’t thought of it.
Something that only oldtimers will remember is how broken glass was everywhere, at the lake, at the river swimming place, just about anywhere men could break their beer bottles or shoot them on the edge of the water or camp-ground, or whatever, and the kids would routinely get hellish glass cuts on their bare feet during family outings, nasty, deep, stitches required cuts.
I wonder if the desire to get back the deposit fee will outweigh the mischievous delight from shooting or breaking a bottle.
People are probably less prone to breaking bottles than they used to be and kids are less prone to going barefoot.
There might be a little broken glass but just as in the litter situation, people just did not have self-awareness in the past about such a thing.
“Iron Eyes Cody’’ was an Italian-American.
Yes and he was the best Fake-Indian there ever was! He even fooled REAL INDIANS!..............
