| dc.description.abstract | How is logistics expediting the increase of plastic in our landfills, contaminating our environment, and how can education enable an alternative? Logistics has naturally evolved its capabilities to maximize the efficiency of trade, and by doing so it has made mass production cheaper and faster. Naturally, finite resources cannot keep up with the demand of production. Logistics efficiency has negatively impacted the environment, by increasing the rates of contamination and pollution of our natural resources. By using a recycled shipping container and reintroducing it as a mobile education platform, this design facilitates awareness of pollution to kids, by exhibiting the life-cycle of plastic bottles and its environmental impact in the designed space. | |
