Once again I was sitting here at my desk when I heard the garbage truck on the block. SHIT! I forgot AGAIN to take out the trash! Since both J and I are gone this weekend, I didn't want to leave yucky trash in the can. So I ran to the hall, jammed some shoes on, and ran out to the back yard to take out the trash can. Which is empty.
And then felt pretty good about the fact that in a week we've generated close to zero trash (there was a half bag in the kitchen which I decided to take out just because we're going to be away.) And last week the can was only about 1/3 full, after emptying every trash can in the house.
Notably, the recycling bin fills up much more quickly, so we're surely not perfect on the reduce, then reuse/repurpose, then recycle, then discard spectrum. But we're doing pretty good!
