I thought about how I’m obsessed with plastic straws, or how Zip Loc bags are a constant on my grocery lists.

The beauty of this book is that after you think back on all your waste shortcomings, you almost instantaneously think of ways to change. I could use one reusable straw cup; an investment in some Tupperware would be a good idea, and I could force myself to recycle every time until it is second nature.…

In an effort to reduce waste that arrives at the landfill and hence extend its lifespan, we sought objects that had no reason for habitation in the landfill. Although our physical work was important, the educational component of the job reached much further. On rainy days when outdoor work was brought to a halt, we would resort to the nearby office TV to watch movies. However, these movies were none such that I had heard of; instead, they were documentaries about nothing other than trash.…
