dc.description.abstract |
A
majority
of
the
human
inhabitants
of
our
world
are
unaware
and
out
of
touch
with
the
realities
of
our
disposable
culture.
Non
biodegradable
plastics
overflow
our
landfills
and
break
down
into
microscopic
pieces
in
our
waterways,
fields
and
oceans.
The
partials
are
routinely
digested
by
the
same
animals
we
consume
and
contaminating
the
soil
where
we
grow
our
additional
food.
Because
our
unwanted
objects
are
quickly taken
from
our
surroundings
to
environments
far
away,
we
never
see
the
magnitude
of
our
waste
creating
habits.
The
problem
is
catastrophic,
yet
oblivious
to
our
mainstream
culture.
An
individual
can
become
overwhelmed
trying
to
comprehend
and
devise
solutions
on
such
a
large
scale,
questioning
if
it
is
even
possible
to
live
trash
free.
By
examining
and
documenting
the
trash
my
individual
family
creates,
I
have
become
acutely
aware
of
the
magnitude
of
objects
I
am
accountable
for
leaving
on
this
planet
after
my
body
biodegrades.
My
goal
then
became
to
eliminating
my
family’s
trash
in
six
months,
and
observing
and
maintaining
these
lifestyle
changes
for
the
next
six
months
to
see
if
they
prove
sustainable.
My
intent
during
the
first
six
months
was
to
simplify
my
needs,
and
then
explore
reusable
alternatives
for
the
remaining
consumable
objects.
The
project
became
a
test
in
my
discipline,
focus
and
ability
to
devise
a
system
to
test
and
change
wasteful
habits. |
