On Tuesday, I got out of subbing a little earlier thanks to last period planning. I guess that’s the advantage of subbing…no planning required (to a point).
I didn’t know what to do with myself! An entire two hours of unplanned free time! I headed to the grocery store. My family has been barely subsiding on odds and ends.
I don’t know of you’re like me, but when I get back from a big shopping trip, I find myself clearing out the old stuff from the fridge. What a chore, but necessary. I’ve often found offender of various odors lurking deep within its shadows. Yesterday proved no different.
As I took the garbage outside, I was amazed by the waste.
And a view from the top…
I don’t like throwing things out…especially food that should have been eaten. I haven’t discovered a sure-fire way of avoiding it though. If I don’t buy as much, we don’t have enough, but if I buy it, nobody eats it all.
And the plastic containers…a thorn in my side. My city does not have a recycling program. There is a charity, which I plan on calling soon, that will come and pick up some of the items; however, recycling is not mandatory here. When we moved here from south Florida, I was shocked. It rubbed me the wrong way to throw paper and plastics in the garbage.
Perhaps the only way to avoid this is at the store where I purchase my items.
Sigh…
A small weight on my mind. How to be a better steward of this beautiful world that God created.
