lila stared down at the three bins like they were suspects in a lineup. blue. green. black. each one carefully labelled, color-coded, and adorned with laminated pictures she'd spent an embarrassing amount of time designing in canva. she even taped an actual banana peel to the green one for visual reinforcement. if brody didn't get it this time, she was going to lose her mind – or worse, her will to recycle. “okay, brody,” she said, tapping the green bin with her shoe. “let's say, hypothetically, you've finished your smoothie and you're holding a cup with the little leafy symbol on it. where does it go?” she waits for a beat, before continuing. “green,” she answered for him, before he could point to the black and break her spirit. “green, brody. because it breaks down. compostable. like food. plants. things that come from the earth and don't have barcodes.” she gestured to the bins again with the flair of a game show hostess running out of patience. “blue is for paper. clean paper. not paper with cheese melted into it. and black is for all the sad, unrecyclable garbage we pretend doesn't exist.” her eyes narrowed as she unwrapped a muffin and immediately crumpled the wrapper in her palm. “don't you dare say green,” she warned, voice low and dangerous. “if you say green, i swear i will dump this entire bin on your bed.”
