<p>The alternative to spray paint cans is to paint the murals with paint and brushes. It completely eliminates the need for spray paint cans which are usually not recycled. This also eliminates the air pollution form the spray paint propellant and paint particulate in the air.</p>

<p>Maybe the commentary on the environmental issues here is meant to be thought provoking, but I find it to be a strange direction to take what is going on here. In my humble opinion, the good heavily outweighs the bad.</p>
