My participatory action is a Flash Mob scenario that is designed to make a commentary on the amount of waste that humans produce. The place would be either a large sporting event or concert where the aftermath is always a ton of trash. The trash we produce could be seen as an interstice of society, the forgotten trash that the rich as well as poor produce and forget about. We believe when we throw something away that it just magically disappears without envisioning the overflowing piles of garbage in the world.
Rule one: Gather in a huge, congested circle.
Rule two: Bring a can soda, beer, or other canned beverage.
Rule Three: Gather together, open the cans simultaneously, pour them out, and drop the cans on the ground in unison.
The awkwardness of so many people opening cans of soda simultaneously and looking at a giant pile of soda cans on the ground would be very shocking to the audience observing it.

This seems like a really great idea. I would even do it at school. Definitely effective.
