Among other things, April is Keep America Beautiful Month. I've always had a connection to the Keep America Beautiful posters that feature the Native American Indian Chiefs that look so sad about the garbage situations, probably because I am 1/4th Native American myself. When the need arose for an alternate Foreman Challenge, I immediately thought of this!
