trash talk: sunday...

a light day today. probably because we were out of the house from breakfast until dinnertime! here's the breakdown...

compost:

4 eggshells

tangerine peel

paper bag

farmer's market snack scraps (strawberry and carrot tops, toothpicks, orange rinds)

dinner scraps (peeling of carrot, asparagus bottoms)

4 leaves of wilted lettuce

apple core

asian pear core

recycle:

aluminum yogurt lid

cardboard box (butter)

envelope

3 beer bottles

#5's:

yogurt container

2 strawberry baskets (i've got to get better at not accepting these, or bringing them back to the vendors for reuse. they also make great protection for just-started seedlings, but i've got a stockpile in my gardening shed and don't need any more).

landfill:

plastic packaging from farmer's market soap

bubble mailer

2 broken rubber bands

2 strands of floss

potato chip bag

2 squares of waxed paper (food sample at the market)

jeremy thought i was nuts for tallying up every bit of waste at the farmer's market, but he still played along. good guy. on a side note--i couldn't believe how many people were using plastic bags provided by vendors at the market. i thought the word was out that plastic bags are totally uncool? sigh.
