Everytime i see the recycle mark i wonder how hard it is for a layman to really understand the meaning behind it or other eco terminologies like Carbon footprint/Recycle friendly, etc.

Educate citizens about their carbon footprint and promote green-purchase

- every home has a trash bin unit with a data connection
- neighborhood data is connection is assimilated and rated - green or red
- every district data is then assimilated and rated - green or red
- results of collection of carbon footprint collection is then displayed at the city center with color coding - educating the citizens about their impact on earth
- all this is possible with re:
- this bin is the base unit for the green city
- the basic idea is to teach citizens about green materials and carbon footprint every time they trash : "Self-Responsibility"
- the user inputs data according to the recycling mark on the trash and bin calculates the weight of the trash and thus the carbon footprint based on that
