day 2

Yesterday, I had a lot more trash then I thought I would. Yesterday, I guess I absentmindedly put things in the trash because I poured everything out on the floor and there were a lot of things. I started to separate my things into two piles: the things I used for over 10 minutes and the things I used for under 10 minutes. I hate to admit this, but my pile with things used for less than ten minutes was at least four or five times larger than the less than 10 minutes pile. In the first pile, there were multiple empty diet coke cans and gum wrappers, as well as two water bottles. In my second pile, there was a sandwich wrapper, a lightbulb container and a mascara bottle. It really startled me how much unnecessary things were in my less than ten minutes pile- I went through four diet cokes which is obviously very clearly unnecessary! It wasn't impossible to not make trash because there are many things that we don't need to use or throw out and while I had a lot more things in my 'over 10 mins pile', I'm confident I'd be able to greatly reduce the amount of things in there if I was more conscious of my actions.
