    It just seems like an aweful lot of expected food/organic waste.

    I also live in / manage a house with university students.

    Once every 2 weeks for garbage is a mess already.

    I already have them all tossing every organic scrap into one of my heaps.

    The amount of bottled water these people consume is insane.

    I understand the intent. And I’ve been way ahead of the curve for years.

    But unless inorganic and non recyclable waste is cut at the source, it won’t be reduced.

    I mean, I just bought some breakfast sausages a while back and Wtf they were individually wrapped in plastic inside plastic inside plastic.

    I toss maybe a kitchen size bag of trash per week. I don’t know that I can reduce any more unless I eat the plastic. Well, I guess technically I already am…
