Trash

There are no consequences for the excess of our lives.

You can see and smell the consequences in Haiti. We have so much stuff, junk, crap. One day it will catch up with us. One day soon.

Today at work I swept the sidewalks and bagged leaves.

Feelings just sneak up on me.......I thought about the people of the world that sweep dirt off of dirt.

Trash.

We produce so much trash. I work in a bakery and we go through all kinds of things, especially food. We don't think about it, we just toss it.


There was trash on most every street in Haiti. Mounds of it. Of course it smelled. Haiti smelled dirty. You would see people in the trash along with animals (dogs, pigs, chickens). One thing I've taken for granted and not realized until now was a clean town. There are dumps but no one takes it there. I never saw a trash truck once.











notice the trash on the roof. everywhere. just toss it out the kitchen window.
