WHAT’S IN OUR 2016 JAR OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE?

Hi everyone!

Today, I am presenting my family’s trash for 2016 (October 2015-October 2016).

As mentioned in my last trash tally post, I expected to end the year with a bigger jar than the previous one. When I wrote that post, I had just broken our tape measure. I had taken it apart and recycled the metals parts, but I was left with a large 2”x1” bit: a hard plastic casing containing a metal spring, that I could not opened (and yes, I did try pounding it with a hammer). I am careful about buying things that are made with materials that can be dismantled to facilitate repair and (at the end of their life cycle) recycling. But the mechanism of this tape measure was so well bound that I had relinquished to putting the whole thing in our landfill jar. It sat in it all year, until I decided to take a tally for this post.

I emptied the jar on the white towel, the mechanism rolled out of it with a “stomp”. Leo just happened to be walking by, and out curiosity, I asked if he had a suggestion for taking it apart. “This?”, he asked. Before we could even discuss options, he grabbed it, threw it on the concrete, the whole thing came apart, the casing split in half, releasing the spring in the air. Leo is 15 now, and has become much stronger than I am but you should have seen the surprise on his face when the spring went off -a bit a jack clown popping out of box)-  I only wish I had had time to videotape it

So, our trash for 2016 fits in pint size jar for the second year in a row! And you can feel lucky you don’t get to take a whiff of it: this is the stinkiest one so far!

Here is a rundown of my family’s household waste in 2016, clockwise:

Kitchen: produce stickers (lots of them this year! since I traveled a lot on Fridays I missed quite a few Farmers’ market days), plastic labels from cheese wheels, 3 bubble gums, the plastic wrapper of a cookie (given to the boys?), ripped jar gasket.

House repair: Dried paint and bits of tape from my latest mural (I reuse painter’s tape until it no longer sticks, more on that here), old silicone caulk and toilet paper used to wipe my mess, bits of paint, electrical tape, white piece of duct tape (brought in stuck on someone’s shoe from the outside), bits of electrical wire, broken spray from my spray bottle, the broken antenna of our solar converter.

Shipping: Bits from different shipments received, incl. a dryer sheet that an eBayer sent to add scent to her shipment (!?), 5 silica gel packets (a record! and yes, even when you buy secondhand, you get them), the strip from the cardboard envelope used to send me a toothbrush sample.

Kids: A taped school cover, an empty pen refill, a cheap freebie (remember Max’s airplane? Leo did the same with a yellow sticky ball toy at the same age!), a piece of foam from one of Max’s computer parts (he built his own this year).

Bathroom: A medicinal packet given to Scott by his doctor, contact lenses stickers, a Band-Aid (we don’t buy them, but Max wiped out at a biking event and was treated with one), the bristles of wornout bamboo toothbrushes (contrary to manufacturer’s claims, they are not compostable), the plastic labels of my SPF tinted moisturizer (I sent three back to them), the broken spoolie of my mascara wand, a broken hair tie.

Hobbies: A deflated balloon that landed on our property (so unfair), the holiday card from un-reachable long lost friends (but I finally got hold of him on Twitter!), pieces of bike repairs and seat post label.

Wardrobe: Clothing labels (I can’t stand them, they’re so itchy!)

Misc: Tags and warning labels of all sorts.

We’ve already taken steps to make sure that some of these do not land in next year’s jar. I thought about replacing our broken tape measure with a secondhand one. Instead, I opted for one that supposedly comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty, so I would not be stuck with the same conundrum as I did this past year. The store said they would replace it no matter what, but I just read something different on their site, so I won’t vouch for them until I actually put their warranty to the test. But hopefully I’ll never have to!

#WHAT’S IN OUR 2016 JAR OF HOUSEHOLD WASTE?

[corrinassurveys]

1. What’s one thing that’s happened to you that has made you a stronger person? I think walking away from an abusive ex boyfriend and basically accepting the fact we weren't right for one another made me extremely strong. Finally letting go was one of the biggest things I have ever done in my life and it made me a much stronger, better person. 2. What’s one thing that’s happened to you in your life that made you feel weak? Being made to feel like I wasn't good enough, like the way I look would never be good enough for someone else. Again, my ex made me feel my weakest and ever since I let go, I am no longer hurting. 3. Where is one place you feel most like yourself? With my perfect boyfriend, or at home reading a good book with the candles. 4. Where is your favorite place to escape to? I just enjoy being in my room, it is my comfort place and I know I can chill put there. 5. Who do you think has had the largest influence on the person you are today? Possibly my mum, if it wasn't for her live and support, I wouldn't be where I am now. 6. If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be? I would change my figure. I'd love to have a smaller waist, but I enjoy food too much, lol. 7. If you had one day left to live, what would you do first? Oh my gosh, I have no idea. Posaibly just spend it with everyone I love and donate all money I have to charity. 8. What decade do you feel you most belong in? I have no idea, but I definitely don't feel like I belong in this one. 9. Who are you closest to in your family? Why? I'd say my mum. Because we are the onky females and we share a lot of interests. 10. Who is the one person in this world that knows you best? Either my mum or my s/o. 11. What is your favorite quality about your best friend? I don't have a best friend. 12. When you were younger what did you think you were going to be when you grew up? An author. I still wish I stuck to writing as a child. 13. If you could identify with one fictional character (from a book, show, or movie) who would it be? I have no idea at all. I have read too many books. 14. Do you easily accept compliments? Or do you hate compliments? Yeah, I love receiving compliments and take to them nicely. I don't have a hard timw accepting them. 15. Is your favorite attribute about yourself physical or non-physical? Non-physical. 16. What is your favorite physical attribute about yourself? Possibly my bum. 17. What is your favorite non-physical attribute about yourself? My attitude towards life and my kindness. 18. Do you believe in love at first sight? Not really, no. 19. Do you believe in soul mates? Absolutely! 20. How seriously do you take horoscopes? Not as seriously as I used to. I went through a phase with them though, definitely. 21. Have you ever been in love? How many times? Yes, twice. 22. What makes you fall in love with someone? Just their kindness and the way they treat you. 23. What does vulnerability mean to you? What has the ability to make you vulnerable? This is a tough one. I think when a person is vulnerable, it could be they are in a rough place and you just need to be careful what you say so as not upset said person. I think bringing up my past makes me feel the most vulnerable, because I have come so far from then. 24. What’s one thing you’re scared to ask a man, but really want to? There is nothing I want to ask anyone right now. If there was a question I wanted to ask, I would just ask it. 25. If you were a man for a day, what would be the first thing you do? Helicopter!! 26. What do you find most attractive about each sex? Every person is different, you can't pin point one attractive thing about every single member of the opposite sex because not all males/females will have that thing. 27. What’s one thing you’d love to learn more about? Spirituality. 28. What is something you’ve never done that you’ve always wanted to do? Been in a helicopter. 29. Why haven’t you done it yet? The opportunity has just never arose. 30. If money didn’t matter, what would your dream job be? Possibly working abroad.. somewhere sunny. 31. If you had off from work today, what would you do? I am off today, I am just chilling at my boyfriend's house. 32. What was the last thing that made you cry? I can't really think of anything in particular. 33.

What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done? Possibly having a one-night stand with a guy who looks like a ccertain celebrity in a car with his friend... 40. Would you have a conversation with a stranger? Absolutely. I work in retail, so this happens a lot anyway. 41. Would you tell a stranger they have toilet paper hanging from their shoe? Or their dress tucked into their underwear? (Or anything else that is embarrassing to be seen in public)? Yeah, as I would hope someone would do the same for me. 42. What’s your favorite joke? I don't really have one. 43. Are you a dog person or a cat person? Definitely a dog person. 44. If you could be any animal, what animal would you be? A dog! 45.

I am an honest person and am a spiritualist. Most people my age aren't into that kind of stuff. 50. What is one thing you feel your life is missing?  Nothing. I have everything I need and more. Except maybe friends...
