The Garbage Project is an archaeological study of the difference between mental and material realities. Archaeologists have traditionally only studied past discard -- usually those more than 50 years old. But if archaeologists can provide important and useful information about past societies, why wait until all of us who live in our society are dead before we find out that useful information? Let's learn important stuff from our discards today that we can apply to change our society in ways that we intend!
