It seems easy once somebody points it out. But until those words are first uttered, we can find ourselves still going through the same motions and habits day after day not even realising the cold, hard truth of the matter. We only have waste because we create it.
People have become used to the convenience of the dustbin.
- Fill up the bin in the kitchen
- Empty it into the wheelybin 5 times a week
- Garnish with any leftovers from various wastepaper baskets and bathroom empties
- Serve to the pavement to be collected
- Start again…
Maybe I’m being facetious here, but at the end of the day, is it not the case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’? As long as that dustbin lorry keeps popping along every week to take away our refuse, we don’t need to worry about it. (more…)
