My trash cans Waste management trucks pass through my neighborhood twice a week Tuesdays and Fridays. We have two different trash cans on the side of my house. One is for our actual trash and the other one is for our recycling items. Day 1 of keeping up with my trash. I never really realized how much trash my family and I produce. We throw away two to three full trash bags a week. I never really paid much attention to what we throw away until now. Much of it consisted of consist of leftover food such as, packaging from the food products that we either forget to recycle or can't be recycled. In the latest picture of my trash, you can see an old pair of jeans that were thrown away by my sister. Whats in my trash can? I tend to try to recycle as much as I can. We reuse the grocery bags we get from the store as trash bags for the rooms around the house. We recycle most of the water bottle, cans, glass bottles, and old papers from school. ...

While at the grocery store I decided to observe what other people had in their...

As a high school and college student, it's really hard to keep up with a healthy diet or at times what I eat. In all honesty, I just eat whatever I see. With so much homework, studying, and club meetings is difficult to keep up with what I'm going to eat . When my English professor asked us to keep a food journal it was difficult to keep up with because I would usually end up finishing my food before I even got to take a picture of it. Journaling what I eat has made me realize a lot of bad habits I’ve been doing. You would think that with so much on my plate with school there’s practically no time to eat. On the contrary, I learned that I stress eat a lot of the time, especially when doing homework or studying. Even though I'm not really hungry I still look for something to munch on whether it be candy or chips. ( Don't let the plantain chips fool you I just ran out of hot fries) I also realize that I do not make the healthiest cho...
