Day 1- Trash Diary
I surprisingly had a small amount of trash. A plastic water bottle from lunch, a plastic water bottle from dinner and a napkin from dinner. The good thing is that, these can easily be recycled. Instead of plastic water bottles, I will use cups or a reusable a water bottle. I can decrease my amount of waste by using reusable alternatives. On average it takes 450 years for a water bottle to biodegrade. (http://www.postconsumers.com/education/how-long-does-it-take-a-plastic-bottle-to-biodegrade/) So recycling really does make a difference. I don't want my trash to end up an the ocean or a landfill. I will gladly recycle my recyclable waste.
