At the beginning of 2007, Joseph Porcelli, launched The Nametag project, committing to wear a name tag every day for a year.

Eight months later, 6,000 people have accepted the challenge to wear a nametag for a day, and 30 for the entire year.

Today, July 15, the Boston Police Department will distribute 40,000 nametags at Fenway Park.

What's their stated goal?

To encourage people to get to know their neighbors, to build community.

What do you think?

Would this help to reach across the aisle? To find descriptors that bind, rather than separate us?
