garbology

[late edition, Monday update]According to sources on wordnik, garbology is "the study of a society by analyzing its garbage." What happens when we look at ourselves by looking at what is in our bins?We might find something disgusting.Or fascinating.Deep philosophical discussions about what is and isn't garbage might ensue.Every item of trash is a mystery containing dozens of questions. What was this? Who bought it? Where did it come from? Why did they throw this part out? What could this be used for now?We might even develop a taxonomy of trash to help us understand what types of things people throw out.And you might finish the day with a little bit of reading.
