1. If my parents completed this same solid waste project, I think their inventories would contain a lot more throughputs than mine did. My parents tend to be decently conscious of their impact on the environment, but I am still regarded in the family as the "tree-hugger." That being said, they are less likely to ponder about the amount of throughputs they use (ex. they still use plastic water bottles despite my slightly-sarcastic, slightly-truthful telling that they are killing birds). Yeah, they would definitely have more plastic in their swag bags. When asked their opinion on what they believed their swag bags would be, they did not particularly deny that they would have more plentiful swag bags, although they seemed to not focus on that point of discussion too much. They admitted to obviously using more plastic than me in the form of water bottles, but they did point out that I tend to use more Ziploc bags (for my daily chocolate muffin) than they do. My parents pointed out that they would obviously have more store receipts, as they pay for everything in the house. They also get more mail than me, having to pay bills and all. Overall, I observed that the main difference causing the discrepancies we might find between our swag bags is the fact that they are adults and I am not - being an adult seems to use more throughputs. 2. During the course of the experiment, I tried to not change my consumption habits. That being said, the thought that I would inevitably have to put certain pieces of garbage into the swag bag did make me less desirous of packaged foods. The main hassle in the experiment was that I had to carry the trash until I was able to place it into my swag bag; because I decided not to bring my swag bag to school, this meant that any food that I ate at school would need to have its package kept in my backpack until I got home. But I tried to keep my consumption relatively normal, so as to have an accurate depiction of my overall use of throughputs. I value valid experiments, so I attempted to have a legitimate one with the swag bag. I believe I did a thorough job at monitoring my throughputs and not deviating from my normal consumption habits.

Jackson, Mississippi seems to be experiencing stagnation in the amount of people it has. The pre-reproductive population is somewhat equal to the reproductive portion of society. However, there may be a slight decrease in the future, as the reproductive people outnumber the pre-reproductive ones. San Diego's population looks to be on a decline, as their population pyramid is top-heavy with middle aged people. The lack of pre-reproductive citizens indicates that there will be less reproductive adults in the future. It looks as though the reproductive population of San Diego is not primarily interested in having children. Anaheim's population appears to be pretty static. Its population pyramid is neither top-heavy nor bottom-heavy. The uniform distribution of the pre-reproductive section of society and the reproductive portion leads us to believe that the population of Anaheim will remain fairly stable, as there is no large base of pre-reproductive citizens who would make the population grow.
