Today was a bad day "waste" wise. Not only did I have chemistry lab where I was forced to discard chemically soiled materials, it was also farmer's market. Usually this would be a good thing, a time to buy fresh produce with little to no packaging. But.... I went without any money and opted to just sample a bunch. The downfall today was the cheese samples and the pie samples. Each sample came in either a plastic or paper cup and the pie came with a plastic spoon. And I had 3 of each. Woops. Now I have 3 plastic cups, 3 paper cups, and 3 plastic spoons to do something with.
Also today, I got stuck on campus for 11 hours and so I caved and bought a cup of rice and beans. Luckily I had a fork in my backpack so that was good but i'm still left with yet another paper cup and plastic lid....
I need to be more cautious when going to school with the possibility of not being able to come home for a long time and I also need to learn some self restraint when presented with free samples that come with waste.
