As I take the garbage out and see a huge blue dumpster full week after week I can't ignore the problem we have with waste. Yet we try our best to not think about it. Maybe it's because the trash doesn't effect you on a personal level but it could very well be that you choose to ignore the problem all together. There is obviously a larger trash problem in a city like Seattle compared to our little town of Missoula, MT but one day this wasteful, fast paced lifestyle will have greater effects on us. The question is: how long will we choose to ignore this problem that seems to be burying us alive?
"Every single thing you see is future trash. Everything. So we are surrounded by ephemera, but we can’t acknowledge that, because it’s kind of scary, because I think ultimately it points to our own temporariness." believermag.com
Think about the environment and our future children or friends future children. We need to be recycling as much as possible. Maybe recycling isn't the answer but NOT recycling is very pointless. I admittedly contribute to being a wasteful american but at least I'm aware of it and try my best to recycle and reuse whenever possible.
