This project started with something I see every day here at UCLA – a trash can.
There’s a specific type of trash can that caught my attention. Every time I use it, I stop and wonder: Am I sorting my trash correctly? This led me to think : Can something like trash can make us rethink our relationship with waste, the environment, and corporate responsibility?”
The goal of this proposal is that after watching the video, the next time you see a trash can, you might start thinking beyond ‘where does this go?’ and instead ask, ‘why is this system designed this way in the first place?’
