The Seattle experiment

摘要

In July and August the Trash Track team from MIT's SENSEable City Lab scattered 60 pieces of tagged garbage around the city of Seattle. Perhaps surprisingly, only two pieces found their way to Seattle's main landfill in Arlington, Oregon, more than 300 kilometres away.rnOf the rest 11 pieces, including a Spiderman shoe, a keyboard and laptop battery, started scattered over a 700-metre radius of Seattle, and ended up centred in the vicinity of two recycling facilities.
