Observation #1

I am collecting random garbage. The first thing that I noticed is that everything that I collected functions as packaging. I cleaned it and being analyzing it. I am interested in the processes and materials of it. A package for yogurt uses plastic, aluminum and paint. A beer bottle is created with glass; the cap is made out of metal and has a rubber piece inside. It also has paper with glue outside of it. Each process and material used in a package is using a lot of energy and resources that we cannot recover. I want to explore this furthermore in the future.
