· How long does it take you to fill up one trash can/bag?

· How many bags of trash do you fill up in a week?

· What are the most common items in your trash (ie plastic, paper, food, metal)?

· How many items that your throwaway are single use items like plastic silver, individual water bottles or individually packed snacks affect your behavior?

· Where does your trash go after you put it into the trash can?

· How does trash impact the environment?

· Do you recycle or compost?

· Are there any changes in your lifestyle or the things that you buy that would decrease how much trash you have?

· Do you think you have more or less trash than your neighbors?

Reflect on your answers to these questions and summarize what your answers and thoughts into four sentences.
