trash talk

 

I'm on about trash. Maybe because so much of it piles up from these big buildings in NYC—and keeps piling up when the garbage trucks are being used as snowplows. 

Now plastic grocery bags are outlawed (as in Rhode Island as well). However, what is the use of plastic shopping bags being outlawed, and everything being recycled if recycled items are a) packed in plastic bags and b) no country will take our shit. 

I hate also to see on the street all the wonderful things that have been thrown out. Fortunately (because I am drowning in those wonderful things that have furnished four places in three different states), there are many sites that will flag you if they see great stuff curbside and the pandemic has brought on a rash of trash. Or you can leave them in the giveaway shed at the town dump. Or you can call Goodwill or someplace to pick up good stuff, and someone else will buy it for charity. That's what my neighbor and I did when we cleaned out our closets. It was a beautiful thing.
