Personalized Trash Cans

One day I was walking through the streets of Boston and decided I should blow my nose. Nobody wants to carry around a tissue full of snot in their pockets so the next logical action was to find a trash can to slam dunk my tissue in. After five blocks I didn't see a single trash can. At this point many people would throw it on the ground but I was determined to find a trash can even if it took me ten blocks. After my fourteenth block I finally found a trash can. This is when it hit me. The reason why people litter so much is not because they hate the environment but because they don't have the patience to carry around their trash. Have you ever seen someone litter when they were standing next to a trash can? Probably not, because if they are going to throw it they might as well throw it in the trash. I think that everyone should have there own trash can that they customize and put out for public use. Then no one would have an excuse to litter. You can paint your name on your trash can or you can put points on the side and paint it to look like a basket ball hoop! You can have a trash can that says "Kyle + Sarah Forever", or you and your buddies can write an inside joke on it! They would be works of art and they would catch everyones eye who passed by. Famous artist would sculpt there own trash cans to look like volcanos, businesses could advertise for free on them! Trash cans could be used as memorials for a lost pet, or a way to let someone know about a missing person! How cool would it be to be able to say. "Hey look there's my trash can, I did that with my first grade class ten years ago!"

Hey,That's a really cool idea! I used to live in Boston and there was a lot of litter. How do you plan to make this idea come to life? I think this is an awesome idea. If you need any help making this dream come alive, please visit cows03.googlepages.com and e-mail me if you need too. Just put in the subject line, something about Boston's trash cans. Great Idea, Kristen Powers
