Surveillance capitalism’s new normal: lure unsuspecting consumers to give you their photos with warm and fuzzy branding & then use those photos without informed consent to train face recognition tech you market to police and military https://t.co/M2rdl7Slkn

House Cup results: Gryffindor 44, Slytherin 51, Hufflepuff 55. Well done, everyone! #STV202

[Design & Society @UW_STV202]

Lots of good tweets on sustainability! I make it a tie for 1st between Gryffindor & Hufflepuff! 6 points each, 3 for Slytherin! #STV202

I wasn’t aware that animal-derived clothing was a sustainability issue. Cutting back on meat consumption is: https://t.co/vxTKHDcOOd #STV202 https://t.co/bC6zaOTaIy

[Jimmy @jakub_g14]

https://t.co/Fk6zT3xyu8 should the government create more regulation for animals being used in clothing? Should these items be taxed to lower their consumption? #stv202 #g

…thus re-using the box, once. It would be interesting if Amazon would take back and re-use the boxes they deliver! How many is that? #STV202 https://t.co/rJ9JJbpOkG

If I understand it, it urges customers to make charitable donations of goods in boxes they would otherwise trash or recycle… https://t.co/uLZ5Bxrkme

Nice example! #STV202 https://t.co/D0jkx9HQZR

Interesting idea. It would certainly be more feasible than Turn to the Future! #STV202 https://t.co/lQho4Gbzyr

@UW_STV202 from the amazing view and sunlight other residents get who are living toward the view of the lake. Perhaps adding a mirror design can help to bring the view of the lake and sunlight all around the buildings from any angle. #H #STV202

That would be interesting to see. I wonder where we could put a wetland? #STV202 https://t.co/S2ZSR2Nd6T

I think UW had a program back when I was a student. Perhaps the problem got too big for their resources? #STV202 https://t.co/0xOKCJivdH

@UW_STV202 There's a great "for free or for sale" Facebook group as well as Kijiji. Almost all my furniture and appliances are used and work perfectly fine. Haven't heard of a place to donate, but I wouldn't be against the idea at all #S

[Design & Society @UW_STV202]

Who did the collecting? Did it work well? #STV202 https://t.co/OgJBIRXQIT

How big an issue is e-waste? How is it dealt with now? #STV202 https://t.co/tqwOQXiF7s

[Jimmy @jakub_g14]

I think the government should try using a 'deposit' approach (similar to beer bottles which somewhat works effectively). There isn't much incentive for people to properly recycle their electronics. @UW_STV202 #g (2/2)

Do UW students donate old furniture when they move? Or, rent furniture? #STV202 https://t.co/SxMtMk2pZG

@UW_STV202 https://t.co/2fjMR3lBUA … New, desired goods get delivered to your house in brown boxes while unused goods get passed on to those who need them. Rather than throwing out those goods or pushing the boxes to recycling plants, both can be re-used! #stv202#s
