Have you ever wondered why litter is in some locations and not others? You will use a Global Positioning System (GPS) to mark the locations of trash and trash cans around a local park or school campus, import the data into Google Earth, and edit the placemarks. You will then be able to analyze the location of the trash and trash cans in order to make a recommendation as to where additional trash cans should be located in the local park.
