Hey not eating packaged food is almost impossible. I am actually in a situation where it is easier than it will be at anyother point in my life, because I have most of my meals provided by the our school, but it is still so hard. I find myself eating packaged foods like two or three times a day without even giving it any thought. I usually only realize when I am half-way through. Hopefully this will get easier. Also I have decided to also try to produce as little waste as I can not just through food. I think this will really challenge me, and is important. I feel like we make so many things that we know are just going to go into a landfill, and those things will just keep getting made unless people actually stop buying them.
I find myself caring more and more about waste every day. I wonder where everything I throw away or even recycle goes, and who it affects. I know it eventually effects everyone, but who does it hurt the most? Does it kill animals? Is it like Karl Pilkington says? Do turtles choke on my plastic bag thinking it was a jellyfish? How do my decisions affect people in other countries? What about the economy? These questions and many others swirl around my head more and more as I continue on with this experiment. Hopefully I will be able to answer some of the a bit better with time.
