The average American family of four creates 124 pounds of garbage each week. We are dismissive if we are better or worse. Here we have combined a Particle Photon, scale and scraps to wirelessly log our weekly and life long waste out put with coding to acclimate to blah blah blah...the following is a fart joke.VIDEO
