Alex Mihm 9/08/2016 5:12 PMThree years ago, when I knew someone else who tried this particular EcoChallenge action of carrying around her landfill-bound trash everywhere for two weeks, I thought it sounded crazy. Today, having implemented new systems and practices over time (mostly as a shopper), this sounds like a tough challenge -- but a doable one. My hope is that I learn to notice all the little things that we may not typically notice going into our trash.
