Trash inventory

When the homework was assigned I thought that I was going to feel very guilty about my lifestyle, according to how much trash I produce. Fortunately, I was glad to find out that I do not produce as much trash as I thought I did, and most of the trash that I threw away is recyclable. I consider myself really wasteful person because I thought I used I lot of paper and plastic. However, I mostly use plastic because of water bottles. But after the exercise I felt good about myself because I didn’t waste that much on a daily basis.
The area that I was more waste full on was the plastic, because I only consume water out of plastic water bottles, and I know is really wasteful, however, the taste of water fountains is not the same. However, I have made the promise to lower my consumption of plastic water. Because is really hard for me to drink the plain water of the water fountain I am planning on putting some flavor in it so it doesn’t taste that bad. Another, area is food. Currently, I eat at the dinner every meal. Unfortunately, the food there doesn’t taste good all the time, or sometimes I change my mind about what I want I end up not eating what I first got, and I throw it away. Therefore, I waste a lot of food that could be eaten by other people. That is the only thing I really surprised me about my wastefulness. When I notice how much food I was wasting I stopped getting food just to get it. I first go around the entire cafeteria and decide if I really want to eat the thing I am about to grab, and if not I don’t take it and I look for something else. That has lowered my food waste greatly and now I feel better about myself. I feel that I throw away food so easily because if I wanted it later I could just get it right away, cheap and at my time/money convenience.
Due to my great amount of food I threw away I notice that while food in other countries is sacred for me didn’t mean anything. I always have it at my finger tips and in this case I have more than I need so I just tend to throw away the rest, and that was become a really bad habit that I want to stop as soon as possible.
