- Waste!
It really doesn’t bear thinking about! Let’s be clear, when it comes to waste, I’m not talking about educational standards, useless degrees or downtrodden under-achievers such as myself. No!
I’m talking rubbish!
This is truly my forte subject. Rubbish, not the same intangible subjective rubbish that frequently poisoned my school reports, but actual tangible unwanted items fit for the dustbins… hmm, perhaps I did fall within that category.
From here on the term ‘waste’ will apply to the tangible kind only.
Moving swiftly on, the amount of real waste our educational institutions produce is quite staggering! The canteens alone yield a phenomenal amount of waste; plastic containers, cardboard, broken metal cutlery, severed body parts and various inedible foods.
