One of the regular activities that has changed for me this year is taking the trash out to the bumpster in the Enfield Parking Lot. There are two dumpsters out there. One being for trash and the other for recycling and yet most of the trash thrown in both of them are a mixture of all sorts of waste. From the kitchen trash can in my Mod gets filled very quickly. I live in a seven person Mod and the amount of trash we make is kind of crazy to me. The difference between how much trash I make at home and on Hampshire campus are drastically different. At home my mother and I are very conscious of what we reuse and throw away. We do have good habits like collecting the bottles and cans we use to return them to supermarkets to get money back from them. On the other hand we still have to take the trash out about every 3 days. Accepting the amount of trash that I make shows me that I might need to change some habits. The problem with this is that I think less about what is happening around my waste because I have so many other things to focus on. Life gets complicated and the fastest and easiest way  to deal with it is just throwing something in the trash and forgetting about it. This seemingly makes it not my responsibility any longer.
