What a waste.

Brenham, Texas
Today smelled. This isn’t to say that today (our first full day in Texas) was a bad day. It also isn’t referring to the fact that a few of us could possibly use a shower and a select few could definitely use some odor-eaters. No, none of this is what made today smell. Today was trash day. If you haven’t heard already, as a cast we have been carrying around our trash since Thursday the 13th. The only trash excluded was bathroom trash, meaning of course a few of us had some pretty rank banana peels by the time today rolled around. To celebrate trash day we first took a group photo with all of our trash. Then we sorted out the paper, plastics and glass for recycling. Finally we took a glorious march through Brenham High School including the cafeteria to throw away our trash (thank goodness!). So what’s the point you say? It’s very easy to mindlessly use, take and throw away things you don’t need but when you have to actually think about it, it can be quite surprising the waste you can cut out of your life. Adios!
