What did you throw away today?

Soem trash, but hopefully, no more of my principles.

Keri-Jade, 23

Lots of paper

Felicia, 37

Just general garbage that goes along with living. Nothing big.

I don't think I have thrown anything away today. I put aside some cans and boxes to recycle, though.

trash

Melodi, 19

I threw away disposable plastic cups, paper cups, the newspaper & lots of Wal Mart bags as I went shopping today.

To the compost: Shrimp shells, banana peels, onion skins and other kitchen debris.
To the recycling bin: Two jars, a soda can, an empty Tums bottle and the Sunday newspapers.
To the garbage destined for the landfill: A dogfood bag and several plastic bags from frozen food. Tea wrappers. The top to the Tums bottle.

I threw away junk mail and a used tissue, though I was half tempted to place the used tissue into the return envelope from the junk mail and send it off "postage paid" and all, I refrained. Maybe next time.

Fisch, 47

I helped a local museum break down and throw out two 40 foot long tape sculptures.

As today is my refuse collection day, I threw away a small container of trash and a large one to be recycled. More importantly, I discarded a couple of preconceptions and a few uncharitable thoughts.

Jane, 63
West Linn, OR USA

Random papers that were cluttering the desk. It's not even 10 AM. I'm sure I'll toss much more stuff as the day goes by.

Laura, 38
Lowell, MA USA

The tray from my Healthy Choice dinner.

Stephanie, 27
TX USA

A bunch of stuff I found while moving to a new office.

Ryan, 29

A tissue.

Karen, 23
Ames, IA USA

Cleaned out the refrig. A dead melon, some clams that went bad (what a smell) Actually, I doubled them up in a plastic bag to throw out into the outside trash on actual garbage day - cause the smell out in the heat well be ghastly! I cleaned out a medicine cabinet - so I tossed a bunch of
half used hair sprays and gels, old band-aids.

Janet, 45
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

I recycled a lot of computer output.

Cathie, 53
Novi, MI USA

Wrapping paper from a gift, a broken hair clip, junk mail, a packing envelope from a book I received from a member of BookCrossing, packaging from dog treats and empty bird food sack.

Tam

A couple of old manky water bottles, food stuffs, old envelopes from bills, some icky tissues that I found lurking around my desk.
