Hello again,
This is another observation about rubbish and hopefully not a rubbish observation.
It seems to me that the recycle box has now become a C21st confessional or a window on the soul. You can now tell so much about a person by their recycling, I don't mean rummaging through people's recycle bins - just what you can see as you walk on by.
You can tell their politics from their newspapers. You can see their interests and aspirations by their magazine choices. You can assess how afluent they might be by seeing which supermarket they shop in. Do they buy "Basics" value offering, the standard range or the premium "Taste the Difference" range. You can see how many ready meals they buy. You can see what they like to drink, whether its wine, beer or a drop of the hard stuff. You can see how much they drink and whether it is good quality or not. You can see if they are watching their weight with healthy choices and diet drinks.
Self conciousness will soon take hold and Soon people will start to hide the things that they might be embarrassed about.
What next?, maybe the government or local council will begin inspections of your recycle bins and then lecture you on how they believe you should be living your life.
It's probably not as far fetched as you might think.
Until next time
