There's a lot of trash on the moon right now—including nearly 100 bags of human waste—and with countries around the globe traveling to the moon, there's going to be a lot more, both on the lunar surface and in Earth's orbit.
The moon is huge, nothing lives there and it’s unlikely we’ll reach levels of trash visible from earth in the near future. So lunar surface pollution is probably one of the smallest environmental concerns of all time.
Oh boi, the selenites are not going to like this.
