Americans are the
trashiest people on
earth. we waste food, goods, and lives in epic proportions. at the dump today, dozens of adorable teensy desks and boxes and boxes of books for early readers, copyright 2001 and like new. next to me a white guy in a shiny new SUV and trailer was tossing construction waste with abandon. a piece almost hit me and i yelled at him, adrenaline surging. he meekly apologized as he tossed his extra, unused lumber in the trash while the bin for clean wood was right there next to us. sometimes i feel like a stranger in Don't-Give-A-Fuckland. happily, surfer Tony with an 808 # answered my ad for free vintage stove and picked it up to refurbish for his mom. and i personally saved a fridge that was grimy but otherwise functional and complete. oh well, it will all be spacedust again some day. p.s. i'm going to suggest the dump set up a book drop. |
