carry your own garbage, please

Add comment May 22nd, 2008

this morning, as i looked at my kleenex box and laughed about how billie on “my name is earl” told earl only to use one tissue at a time, i thought, “should i write down what i throw in the garbage for a week?” would i learn more than i did with my week trying not to buy plastic?

maybe i had the thought because someone told me a while ago about a woman who carried around her own garbage for two weeks.Â
