Dumpster

falling into the endless loop of hunger and sleeplessness. It felt like the darkness the people of the States have drowned in would be there for eternity. The great stock market crash of 1929 haunts the dirty streets. Homeless people search rusting dumpsters for something edible. The ghosts of former stock market investors billow through the alleys, while reminiscing about their days of glory. Children grow up with no food in their stomachs, no shoes on their feet, and no education. Within all…

Greenfield (2017) on his website “Robgreenfield.tv” Greenfield has written a number of blogs about his experience in reducing his impact on the environment. A couple of those blogs talk about how he’s reduced a big part of his food waste, and gone dumpster diving to feed hungry people. I read the book titled “Fast Food Nation” written by Eric Schlosser (2001). I thought this book would give me a better insight on how wasteful Americans are. However, I found that the book just gave me a better…

I hold knowledge they couldn’t even grasp. I am the blue in blue planet, the “ocean” they calm me. I am more than a given name, I am a life force. I gave them life and I can and will take it away. They treat me like their own wastebasket, like a dumpster, toxic waste site, whatever you want to call it. All of them are in denial, humans that is, they say the damage they’ve done is reversible. Some of them won’t even acknowledge the disaster they’ve caused. But that’s how humans are, ungrateful…

The troll went into the bathroom with Hermione along with its big club that it had. The troll is a very big thing that looks like it went through a dumpster cycle a few times. It has a huge body and looks like it has a lot of muscle but in turn it didn’t hurt anyone so it is dumbfounded. Harry Potter is consisted of creatures to show how they use the wizarding they know and have no real clue what they…

of dogs and cats in kennel it smells. I was just about to dump some trash. Suddenly, I heard a rooster was crowing from the back of nowhere, which amazes me because I never thought of a rooster could be on an adoption list. On the way out of the dumpster, they provide a doorstopper in case a volunteer was locking outside. There are two-outdoors areas where they manage and take turns to bring the dog out to do some exercise and we allow going into the cages and playing with these animals. When I…

At the beginning of the short story, Bliss can be identified as being in the Foreclosure stage and then eventually transitions to the Moratorium stage. Bliss was motivated by seeing her sister’s unsuccessfulness to focus on herself and stick to her goals. With that mindset, Bliss tends to be quite stuck in her ways. The author writes, “And America is still the best place to be, except when it comes to smoking. I’ve smoked since I was twelve, and I’m not stopping” (Plummer 28). Bliss is very…

possessions we do not really need. In the Ted Talk, “Be the Change in a Messed up World” by Rob Greenfield, he emphasizes that it is possible to live with 111 things and live an eco-friendly lifestyle. During the Talk Talk, Greenfield presents food from dumpsters, that are in perfectly good condition and that are also unwrapped. This scenario proves that we purchase goods that exceed our needs, and as a result, the environment becomes impacted. Latouche’s proposes a strategy of a “reform and…

My feet had jagged rocks sticking out of the bottom of them. I had just stolen a blanket from a house I had broken into hours ago, and was now walking to the alley, I had learned to call home. As I laid my blanket down and crawled underneath, I couldn't help but look at the markings I had put on the wall behind me. 1,825 markings 1,825 days today was the fifth year anniversary of being homeless. Thinking about my life, truthfully there wasn't much I'd do different. As I laid still under my warm…

to get a pizza for dinner. As we were leaving, there was a group of homeless people that asked us for some change, which we happily gave to them. Then one of the employees came outside with boxes upon boxes of pizzas and wings to throw out to the dumpster. The poor homeless folks begged the employee to please just give them the food instead of throwing it away. They expressed how they would be so grateful if he could just give it to them. The employee refused them and told them he had to throw…

I logged into Unturned on the beautiful, tropical island of Hawaii. The sun was already coming up, smiling from its nap. I'm the only one at the outpost my team has found to reuse as a checkpoint. The rest of the unit is either on patrol duty or scavenging for supplies, since we've only received one airdrop from H.Q. all month, I fear that the eastern raiders have sabotaged our supply line. I was tasked to finish the new wall to create two lines of defense. The new wall would be on the outside…
