While doing research for my littering project I came across a video that helped people stopped littering. The video was about a group of people that got together to try and prevent littering creatively. They decided to go around a park and put and sound device in the trashcan so when people actually threw their trash away, it sounded like it was going down a never ending hole. Once people heard that sound it really shocked and confused them which made them want to throw away more trash to figure out where the sound was coming from. Everyone started crowding around the trashcan to see what was going on. It actually made trash fun to throw away.
My groups original idea was to decorate trashcans as basketball hoops so it would be entertaining for people to throw their trash away. The idea that was shown in the video would be great to have in at a college campus. If that idea could work in a park then it could surely work in at a college campus. It really got peoples attention and that’s all you need to accomplish. Once getting a couple peoples attention, it attracts others to see what is going on.
This video showed a great way how to solve a problem creatively, which is what our project is mainly all about. It would be really cool to have something like this at a college campus to help prevent littering. It would really get peoples attention, and people would actually want to throw away their trash all because of a sound the trashcan makes. The only problem with putting this on a college campus would be that it would cost money. The school may or may not be willing to spend money for trashcans that make sounds.
