Perpetual Thursday Ramblings, Rantings, Nonsense, and Bunk

Solar Trash Can
Tuesday, June 13, 2006











These images are of a solar-powered trash-compactor. I didn't even realize such a thing existed until I saw it. As partially indicated by the sticker on the can, it is located at the Krohn Conservatory, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Our family (execpt dad) went to their annual butteryfly show there, and on the way out I noticed the "Big Belly" can, and still having my camera out, took a few quick photos of it. I'm sure these things are probably everywhere, but I still got a kick out of it.

Here are a couple of articles I found on the Big Belly:
