Ecological Footprint
I've been living in my house for about a month now. Needless to say, this living-on-my-own thing rocks the cock.
Twice a week for the last month I have taken my trash out to the curb, once for regular stuff and once for recycling. I have noted the following things:
1) The contents of my recycle bin are usually substantially larger than my regular bin.
2) I hardly throw away anything that is not recyclable.
3) With the exception of all the boxes I threw away in week one, to this day I probably would not have filled my recycle bin completely.
4) My regular trash bin has never had more than 1 ft. tall worth of volume.
I am not sure what the normal or average amount of stuff a mid-20s male living on his own should be in terms of throwing away, but I feel like I have something worth being proud of here.
Hooray for minimizing my ecological footprint.
