Jared Streifel 10/28/2016 11:09 PMAs the challenge finally comes to a close, I am surprised by the outcome of my waste collection. At the start of the first week, I thought I would possibly fill up an entire garbage bag. However, I was able to fill it up less than halfway. I don't know if I simply just overestimated the amount of trash I produce, or maybe I thought more about each decision that would add to my waste bag. Either way, this was an interesting experience and I really enjoyed it. -
Jared Streifel 10/24/2016 10:01 PMAs my bag of waste grows, its starting to become more and more of a burden, and it has made me realize just how much I waste at my job. My personal trash might fill a normal plastic bag from a grocery store. With my job, however, I had to change to a 30 gallon garbage bag within a couple of days. I'm glad it isn't even close to being full.
