I have been very conscious of the trash I have created today and much too my surprise, I did unexpectedly well. The only trash that I added to my no impact experiment trashcan was two napkins from the caf, a few Halloween candy wrappers, and a gum wrap. I think that because I’m actually paying attention to the amount of waste I’m creating its easier for me to avoid it completely, but had I not been so conscious I think that my trashcan would be full by now. Like I said yesterday, I may be able to go one or two days without making any trash at all, but in the college environment that I am in, there are going to be times where I will have to create trash, I think doing my best to keep it low is good enough though. Something I can definitely weed out of my daily diet is gum though. After watching the No Impact Man movie and seeing how much more I could be doing and what trash really does to our environment, I think gum is going to be a very important removal because all it does is hurt. Watching the trash I create is not only effecting my personal consumption, but I am also noticing what other people are doing and it makes me realize that actually caring really does a lot to a person.
