The first week of class we did this really awesome exercise where we were supposed to track everything that we threw away (sans sanitary products) for a week. The professor gave us trash bags that we were instructed to store all our trash we produced in a week. Truthfully, I didn’t stay dedicated to the assignment (nor did many of my classmates, from what I heard). BUT, now a year later, when I’m much more entrenched in a low-waste lifestyle, I felt inspired to do the same.
