May 2017 Trash Audit

Ever heard of the saying "What would you do for a Klondike bar?" Well...apparently I would produce trash for one! I just couldn't resist one when my boyfriend brought them home :)

This last month I produced 0.4 ounces of trash. It's a tie for my best month ever! In my trash audit, I've split it up into "purposeful" and "accidental" trash categories. There will always be times that I make an active decision to consume something that comes with trash. And there will always be many times that I accidentally make trash, no matter how hard I try!

Purposeful Trash:

• 2 yeast packets

• 2 Fred Meyer receipts

• 2 dress straps

• 1 clothing label

• 1 pill bottle seal

• 1 Klondike bar wrapper

Accidental Trash:

• 1 hair tie

• 1 Starbucks cup topper

• 1 toothpick flag

• 1 envelope window

• 1 envelope seal
