A recent trip to the Whole Foods Market in Annapolis, Md brought upon the thrill of sorted waste. There was the choice to compost, recycle, or "landfill". This initiative is to separate the waste for proper distribution after the items use.
This blog is a product of Geography of Garbage class (ENV 204), which I teach at Hobart and William Smith Colleges (www.hws.edu). The blog represents a collaborative effort among more than 30 students in the course in Spring 2011, and seeks to make visible (through photos and commentary) what we often prefer to be invisible: our garbage.
