I totally forgot about my bad paper cut yesterday. I had to use 3 band-aids. I reached into a bin to get a book out at school and sliced my fingers against the pages of another book. There was blood and I was working with students so I dressed my wounds and made trash. I put the packaging in my pocket, but by the time I got home-- only one little backing was left.In my excitement about the green packaging, I forgot about the tape on the box I got in the mail yesterday.
So I made no trash today, but forgot about some I made yesterday.
Bret LOST his mind today. Did I ever tell you that this trash-free resolution was all his idea??? Well, today he went crazy and made a bunch of preventable trash. And he tried to justify it all. He has taken the week off before he starts his new job on Monday. He realized that the week is almost over and he just had to really let loose. He went wild and crazy and bought cupcakes AND an eggroll--in plastic and styrofoam respectively. And the eggroll came with a plastic cup of dipping sauce. Apparently, the cupcakes were for A to help her be brave for her 'flu shot and he was going to eat the eggroll at the restaurant, but then he got a call and had to go. He totally dropped the ball.
So I am going to play on his weakness. This trash-free thing is now an on-going competition. We are going to split the trash heap into "his" and "hers" and not just compare our trash daily. Bret refuses to lose, but so do I. Who are you going to put your money on?

oh man, you guys are obsessed! just remember, the marriage is more important than a non-compostable band-aid wrapper.
Duly noted :) I am just sore that I did not get a cupcake.
