Garbage!
When I find people I like who are doing stuff I find smart, I like to talk about them and make other people aware of the matter. Well, it just so happens that I’ve found out about this great guy who’s trying to make NYC’s garbage and trash more beautiful. He is distributing painted, colorful garbagebags for people to use as their normal trashbags, and when they’re eventually thrown out on the street, waiting to get picked up, the trash is pretty, or prettier.
The pictures I’ve seen of the bag are pink polka dots, yellow stripes, and smaller purple ones. I couldn’t unfortunately find any pics of them to put on the blog (I will as soon as I find one) but for now you’ll just have to imagine the streets of New York as being colorful and bright, and I’ll definately do what I can to see that this gets spread aroung the entire city as only neighborhoods like Chelsea, Greenwich Village, and Lower East Side have gotten these so far.
What do you think about this idea? Would you buy pretty bags instead of black, boring ones? Let me know!
