Pete: I will start tonight, Thursday, April 16. Tekuru and I go to farmer’s market and get dinner and I bring the related waste items back home. This is largely how I live anyway. My challenge is where to draw the boundary between myself and my family. OK, I forgot and threw something away this weekend at the Open House. I’m starting again now for a week. The Open House was interesting though. Zero Waste had a clear presence – a booth by every eating vendor. They collected Landfill, Recyclable, and Compost separately. Monday April 20th – OK, I successfully started yesterday, and already have lots from bringing home takeout food. Robin said, “Oh, but “I can throw them away.” because she’s not doing the intervention. I told her that it doesn’t work that way. So I have my plastic bag filling by the door at the beginning of my second day. I find myself catching myself tossing stuff out and then pulling it back out of the trash.
Self Intervention PSC 320 Spring 2015
Starting Tuesday of Week 4, please don’t throw anything away – that includes food waste, recyclables, food packing, plastic forks, beverage cans, garbage. Please bring it all home and keep it for a week. After one week, please sort all your garbage and decide exactly what you think should happen with each category. Please record your experience on this webpage and upload a picture of your garbage.
