~~DISCUSSION~~
===== Summary =====
I saw this {{workshops:prototypes:2022-23delivery-lasercutcovers:planturcup:img_7414.jpg?linkonly|}} one day at my local and asked what they did with the cups?
They used them to grow seedlings. i thought that this could be a thing we did in the Coffee Stop. Set up a station on Level 1 of the Edge, somewhere by the coffee stop, where patrons could plant a seed or seedling into their empty coffee cup and take it home with them. It could be something productive (edible[[http://www.prettyproduce.com.au/about]], attract pollinators{{ workshops:prototypes:2022-23delivery-lasercutcovers:planturcup:img_7812.jpg?linkonly |}}, air filtering[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Clean_Air_Study]])
This could
* be a brief 3min activity that patrons could engage with upstairs
* a way getting people to think about their rubbish
* a hands on way of recycling/ upcycling
* an opportunity for people to learn the rarely* practiced technique of planting a seed (Urban people don't plant stuff)
* something to take home and talk about
* there could be a didactic about the productive nature of the plant
