How Was The Date? Let’s Just Say She Was A Little Trashy . . .

Lady, I hope you’re not wondering why you’re still single:

Debra Keneally is conducting an experiment that may make you pause before you buy your next bottle of water or cup of coffee. For two weeks, the 37-year-old Brooklynite is carrying around the trash she accumulates.

“It’s definitely getting in the way a little bit,” Keneally said yesterday, in her office at Frog Design Inc. where she’s a program manager.

She was on Day 5 and already had to switch to a larger bag to hold her discarded mail and catalogs, her plastic tomato and berry containers, clanking beer bottles, old shoe insoles, a box for new sneakers and more.

She is trying to be unobtrusive on the subway, putting the bag between her feet.

“I took the bag to Midsummer Night’s Swing at Lincoln Center, but then I left because it was too hot,” she said. “I took it on a date to Central Park.”

Keneally is following the rules of a project called “Trash Talk,” started in May by a woman in Austin, Texas, who works for the same global design consult. Another Frog Design employee in Seattle and one in Shanghai did the two-week garbage hauling stint before Keneally picked up her bag.
