Nope, I don’t think investing electronics in this way is rational. It spells ‘WASTE’ in itself – in a big way. The big idea should be a BIGGER opening so even the most-cross-eyed ‘bo-bo-kings’ who cannot aim well will be able to get the rubbish into the bin… properly.
I think having less dustbins is best. You are encouraged and educated to bring things back to throw… in your own carbon-footprint trash bag, or better still… to the recycling bin.
The next ‘bestest’ idea is to: HAVE NOTHING TO THROW. But of course, this arena of resource management and waste disposal is beyond the scope of the question at hand (that of a fun bin), but it is the thing: BETTER TO HAVE NOTHING TO THROW AT ALL.
Better still: HAVE LESS PEOPLE – TO THROW THINGS. Don’t think about whether to throw rubbish at all; better think about whether you have children or not. The world will be a real lousy foul-up place for them. Better not beget children. Adopt some if you will.
My apologies to all who love children. I do too, but we probably need radical changes to change a world radically on a sharp curve. Just my two cent worth of ‘rubbish’.
cheers,
Joe
