Dirty Greek - Week of Trash Mar. 13-19

Then let me hear no more of our kind's natural necessity to form hierarchical groups. An observer viewing human life shortly after cultural takeoff would easily have concluded that our species was destined to be irredeemably egalitarian except for distinctions of sex and age.

Rebecca Carter from Greener Miami is performing an analysis of one week of her household trash, from March 13-19, and is inviting others to join her.

How to Participate:

1. Empty all trash from home (from all rooms) immediately before beginning project.
2. Do not empty trash until the end of the 7th day. OR if you empty the trash, take a picture of the waste disposed of.
3. At the end of the 7th day, gather up all of the trash from the home, including trash cans in bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, etc. Take photos of the trash - in amount, and if you would like to show what the trash looks like, that is great.
4. If recycle, be sure to separate the items and show us the amount of trash vs. recyclables.
5. Write a short commentary including: people in your household (# adults / # kids), type of home (single-family, condo, etc), city, interesting circumstances of the week (visitors, out of town, party, spring cleaning, etc), and anything else about your experience, learnings, epiphanies, etc!
6. Post the commentary with photos on your blog, or send it to me via email and I will post. Add Technorati Tag: Week of Trash
7. Publish a comment on GreenerMiami with a link to your post.
