I'm not sure if I like this idea or not.
If the manufacturers of plastic bags, cups -basically anything that traditionally becomes litter - sealed a few seeds into a small storage section at the bottom of their product then when non-green people tossed them out the window sooner or later some of the seeds would sprout. If they were flower seeds then we'd start seeing colors in unusual places, if they were crop seeds then the homeless might wind up with an unexpected bit of extra food.
Aside from letting the manufacturers of these products claim they were going green this would at least turn some of the garbage into less of an eyesore. On the negative side though, more people might be inclined to litter figuring they'd be doing less harm. Hence my ambivalence.

i actually kind of like this idea
Interesting, but most of this stuff ends up in landfill.
This is a very clever idea. I wonder if the plant life would suffer if it started growing in a landfill.
It is not litter unless you can see it!
