Abstract

The chapter 'Query by Trash: Encouraging Green Attitudes and Behavior Through Eco-News Retrieval in Smart Trash Bins' introduces a novel approach to promote pro-environmental behavior using smart trash bins. These bins display news articles related to the type of trash disposed, aiming to evoke a sense of crisis and guilt about environmental issues. The study combines environmental psychology with advanced image recognition and machine learning techniques to rank and present articles effectively. A user study demonstrated that this system can increase environmental awareness and encourage responsible behavior. The chapter also highlights the potential long-term benefits and areas for future improvement in this innovative waste management solution.
