Tupperware

His hand, tan and freckled, unveiled the pile of tupperware containers and soda cans that laid within the cooler. One by one he pulled out the homemade sandwiches, chocolate filled strawberries, pretzels, and the half eaten bag of potato chips. He gestured to the side of the cooler so my attention would…

happiness now being better than happiness later. The fact that people will go out of their way to avoid doing something so measly as the dishes astonishes me. As the dishes pile up, it gets less desirable to clean them until you’re eating cereal out of Tupperware with a serving spoon. Procrastination of the little things in life, like not doing your homework before you play video games, is understandable and still done in reasonable time. When you go days without leaving your bedroom, you are…

TITLE/Headline? Is that a funky hockey puck, or just Tupperware container for your lunch? Nope, it is a LabDisc from Globisens. Students in Ms Keith’s Advanced Placement Environmental Science class were almost giddy as tested and probed the goldfish water as they prepared for their ecocolumn terrarium projects. “We can use more than one probe at the same time!” quipped Lia DeGroot. These students were using the LabDisc GenSci from Globisens. Billed as an all in one STEM labs, these devices…

Passed by Congress on June 4, 1919, the 19th amendment was a milestone for which many had struggled, it had taken years of agitation and protest to finally achieve this milestone. Female supporters of women suffrage organized, petitioned, and picketed to win the right to vote, but it took them decades to accomplish their purpose. By 1920, the American electorate had changed forever, but many argued that giving the right to vote to women wasn’t going to be enough. Women wanted independence,…

Thanksgiving At My House Every year in November kids everywhere rejoice at the mere thought of Thanksgiving break. To some it means the beautiful bliss of at least a day off work, but to most Americans it means spending time with loved ones, eating good food, football games, and just appreciating the little things we have in every day life that others do not. We all have reason to to be thankful. At my house we have our own special traditions and foods that we always eat, just like everyone…

should cut down on the numerous environmentally harmful privileges listed in his ‘Sustainability Pledge’ pamphlet, many of which Dellarobia has never had the opportunity to indulge in. For example, Mr. Atkins suggests Dellarobia “bring [her] own Tupperware to a restaurant for leftovers” to which Dellarobia replies “I’ve not eaten in a restaurant in over two years” (Kingsolver 327). As it turns out, Dellarobia, as well as the majority of the population of…

I will never forget the first and last time I heard my dad scream. I was in third grade, and my class had recently finished up our unit on crayfish. The school had decided to allow students to keep them as house pets when the class was done with them. The student just needed permission from his or her parents. I longed to have a crayfish. Prior to the third grade, the closest I had ever had to a pet was a snail that I had watched for my neighbors while they were on vacation for a few weeks. I…

Atkins starts by reading out his first category which is “Food and Drinks” and says ““Number one. Bring your own Tupperware to a restaurant for leftovers, as often as possible”. Dellarobbia says,” I’ve not eaten at a restaurant in over two years” (327). This begins to become a common theme with most of Atkins pledges. So many of his pledges for trying to reduce carbon…

The heater flipped on and my ear waited for the repetitious clicks, which always occurred when it turned on. Next, I heated leftover hamburger meat and poured water into a tupperware dish. Watching them swarm to the bowls and then eat made me smile, I could tell it was sufficient as they laid down with big bellies. My hand retrieved the bowls and the puppies waddled towards me to give sloppy…
