ANYWAYS, today I wanted to mention an idea I had. One of the main underlying themes of this organization is that trash does not exist. This is a concept that I think can be challenging for many people, especially for Americans, since so much of our culture is based on consuming. But I am sticking to my guns, and I really think that little by little we can change this way of thinking, and start to use less, reuse more, consume less, give back more. So I am starting us off on a very short mad lib of sorts. I write the sentence, you all fill in the blank:
Trash does not exist because....I can compost.
Trash does not exist because....I can reuse my paper grocery store bags.
Trash does not exist because....
Now it's your turn! I want to hear your ideas, because after all, that is the whole point of Trash for Peace!
Trash does not exist because no matter where we think it goes, we all must learn how to live in harmony with what gets thrown away.
