Ewww Trash!!
http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33226604/ns/us_news-weird_news/"Body buried under 8 feet of trash in home."By Associated Press. How bad trash really is, is it bad enough to kill? A 71 year old lady was found died in her home under eight feet of trash. The only reason the family noticed she was missing was because they haven’t heard from her. They obviously don’t really check up on her because they would notices that she was literary living in a dump. The story didn’t tell us how she died but some how she ended up under a big pile of trash in her home. How could someone live in trash wouldn’t you get sick your self? How could you let your trash get so bad that you just let it sit on the floor? Eight feet is a lot of trash any where. When I was reading this, what kept running through my mind was, was this lady fat how can you have that much trash? I was curious how long dose it take an average person to create around eight feet tall trash piles. It said that an average person creates 29 pounds of trash per week and 1,600 pounds in a year. I’m not to sure how tall or how to convert pounds in to height, but I’m guessing it took this lady more than a year to have that much trash. That means that the woman had to smell all of those fumes for more than a year. I thought this would be a good thing to write about because a couple weeks ago there was a man living in trash, they arrested him. Somebody called the polices because the stench was so bad, some of the police couldn’t even breath it smelled so bad. I don’t know how the man didn’t get in trouble sooner because he lived in an apartment and you could probably smell that pretty easily. Wouldn’t the people around him smell the disgusting smell of garbage? This led me thinking about obesity. Are we so obese that we don’t even care about garbage we create, just about how good the food is?
