What a waste
A friend recently posted on social media about how much plastic we use. It caught my attention. The next day at work I noticed how much trash we make in just 1 day. I share a trash can with my manager and just the 2 of us produce a lot of trash.
Today I recorded just what I use during 1 workday.
Plastic wrap
Cookie wrapper
3 Styrofoam cups
2 plastic stirred
3 plastic spoons
Small container
3 napkins
And that's just me. My office alone goes thru Styrofoam to go containers, coffee cups, keurig cups, stirrers, and plastic water bottles by the hundreds in a month. We have a recycle bin but it gets dumped in the trash at the end if the day. I see plastic bottles in almost every trashcan at every desk.
Can I by myself make a difference? I do bring home and recycle my plastic water bottles but I make way more waste in a day sitting at my desk. Can I encourage coworkers to recycle with me? In 1 week what can I do?
