Convenience is a staple of modern society. These days it seems there is a simple solution to every problem and there is no task that broken down to a single step with the help of technology. Just think – when was the last time you hand-washed every item of clothing you own? Just throw the whole heap of dirty laundry in the washing machine and with a press of a button, problem solved. It’s rather amazing to think back and consider all the time people in the “olden days” used to spend performing the tasks we don’t even think twice about these days!
But with all of the inventions of modern convenience, we have begun to forget that convenience for us, may not necessarily mean convenience for the planet. What we’re talking about here is the “disposable” craze, the fad that has capitalized on the human love for convenience and created a plethora of items that are super convenient but also incredibly wasteful. One of the small joys of living in a culture of convenience is not having to think about making your own coffee, or not having to worry about the stack of dirty dishes after a big meal – because, everything can be tossed awayinto a trash can and disappear from our minds completely.
The danger with this habit of “forgetting” the trash is that after a while things start to build up. In the United States alone, it is estimated that one person generates one million pounds of garbage a year. Knowing this statistic, the fact that we are running out of landfill space becomes quite understandable. So for a moment let’s take a look into the things we often don’t think twice about throwing into the trash to save us some time and consider whether or not a few minutes is really worth trashing the planet.
