Class Participation 4/14

As a college student, there any items that I throw away on a daily basis. Such as I use at least a paper plate, plastic silverware, or plastic cups multiple times a day. It's not that I don't have dishes that I can just wash and re-use, it's that I'm too lazy to do use and throwing away paper and plastic is so much easier than having to do dishes. When my trash can gets full, I just take it to the dumpster outside my dorm and never see it again because it's not like I'm going to go to a landfill to see how it's been disposed of. As for invisible waste, I often eat out or on campus but I don't know what was done to make fast food or food in the dining hall. I have no clue what farm or production lines it came from or if the food even came from a farm. The idea of visible waste and invisible waste affects our daily lives because maybe if we had to dispose of our trash ourselves then we would be more careful and aware with how much we're using and throwing away.
