This thread is all about how to reduce waste and so on and so forth.

"The amount of garbage, called municipal solid waste, Americans generate has inched upwards since 1960, from 88 million tons to over 229 million tons in 2001, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)."


Here are some suggestions. Feel free to give others and I will add them. If you get it from a site please include the site link.

- Your eyes are bigger then your stomach. Only take a little bit of food at first. If you are still hungry get more but do not take a lot to begin with.
- Instead of throwing food away try to save it.
- Recycle things. Adn dont be stingy either. heeh
- Try to reuse everything you can.

Feel free to also provide links of waste reduction sites

If you think about it alot fo our waste could be reduced if we would buy things that are recyclable

If not you then who?

this is very true, unfortunatly, many of the things that people buy, ARE recycylable (SP lol i'm having a brain fart xp ) but they do not bother to recycle it because they are to LAZY!!! It's so sad!!

true. I think a big problem with it is that some of the things have to be brought to recycling centers and then you have to pay to get rid of it.

We, like some other countire, should put the recycling cost in the product.

ya. say, i am actually thinking about creating a little center in my neighborhood, where people can drop off their recyclable things and my family and i could take them to the big recycling place. since my papa and i are always doing construction, we have a lot of things we take there and we could just take other peoples stuff as well xp

You know I was acutlly thinking about this this morning lol.

I thought it would be cool if every neighborhood was requeired to set something liek this up. But insstead of one family doing it all the time it would be traded off from one week to the next. And weeks could be traded if families went on vacation and such. Then it would be more of a community thing ya know? man that would be awesome...
