The Trash 12/29/2008
 

Here are some images of all the trash spread out at my friend Steven's photo studio.

Keep in mind that the average American produces orders of magnitude more than Ari did.  Keep in mind also, that the trash is the tip of the iceberg.  Most of the waste, resource consumption and energy usage happen during the process of creating the packaging and waste we see here. 

Ari' life changed when he started this.  He became healthier, lost weight, and felt great.  Turns out, eating fresh, local, organic, and lower on the food chain = less waste in the landfill. 


all of it.


all of it again.


glass.


plastic.


paper.


metal.


beverage packaging.


chocolate!


energy bars.


tea.


random do-dads. 
 - perhaps the most personal pile, besides the notes, to do lists, and letters / cards.
