This weekend I attended a conference at Yale University and so I was not in my dorm or actual house very much. What I have accumulated are a lot of paper and recyclable items. I noticed that I use lots of tissues and don’t throw away food items, especially in my dorm room. Through tracking my waste this week. I’ve also noticed that I tend to use less wasteful items when I’m in my dorm room compared to when I am at home. So now I can evaluate why that is so and possibly find a reasonable balance for when I am in my home and not throw away so much waste.
