Every city wants to believe it is defined by it's culture, right? Or maybe the architecture? The parks? The people? Jobs? Policy? What makes a city special?
Whether it is intentional or not -- Minneapolis, Minnesota is a city defined by it's trash. Or, to be more specific, by it's trash handling...

| I don't usually give much thought to the disposable things I throw away every day... |
 |
| Until I went to Minneapolis...where it became a daunting part-time job... |
 |
| Throwing away trash in Minneapolis requires a graphics art degree... |
 |
| Why doesn't my paper cup go here? |
THEY MAKE IT SO COMPLICATED, Y'KNOW??? And after awhile, it all feels so pretentious...
 |
| One of the best things about living where I live is we have a burning barrel in the back yard. |
SO HAPPY TO BE HOME,
Love,
Rita
Pretntious? Really? Pretentious to be mindful of the trash we create and how we dispose of that trash. Kudos to Minneapolis!
ReplyDeleteOf course you are right, Linda. It's a big job...and Minneapolis does it way better than most.
