Okay so this is one of those odd articles that I tend to stumble across from time to time.
Liverpool is getting a new edition to their streets with trash cans that sing to you ever time you throw your garbage away. Created by a company from Derbyshire, England, the musical trash bin plays a remade version of a song by Mike McCartney (Paul McCartney's brother), entitled "Thank You Very Much", which includes the line "thank you very much for binning your litter".
Honestly, I don't really see too much of a point of having a singing trash can. After all, it's not like the UK has any problem with littering in the first place. I think that the signs that offer those heavy fines for loitering have done a fabulous job of silently keeping the streets clean and free of "rubbish" as they say. Besides, could you imagine having to hear a trash bin constantly thank you for not littering every time you throw something away?
But if you want to look at things on the bright side, this could be an advancement that can later bridge the entertainment world with the environment. I can picture it now: Justin Beiber graciously thanking me for disposing of mt plastic fork. Yes, a little bit farfetched I know. But then again, if they've managed to come this far by coming up with this idea, who knows what's next? *shrugs shoulders*
