I played The Gotham Gazette Garbage Game and sent 1,897,871 tons of refuse across 121,224 miles.
Okay, so I'm not really sure if my score is very good, but the game was interesting. The Garbage Game was designed for the Gotham Gazette. It says:
...this week New Yorkers threw away 64,000 tons of garbage. That comes out to almost 7 billion pounds of garbage every year.Whisking off the detritus of our daily lives costs the city more than a billion dollars a year.
That's a lot of trash, and a lot of money. Lucky for you, it's only a game -- unless you live in New York City.
