As I walk my little dog around the neighbourhood, he is intimidated by the large number of large black bags waiting at the curb each week and switches from my left side to my right. Is he horrified at how much garbage we are creating?
Seriously, I am amazed how my neighbours, two adults in their 50's, can fill two bags of garbage and 2 recycling boxes every week. I haven't peered into the containers but I do see them filled to the top. This is not unusual. Many others have similar volumes of garbage that we walk past once each week. I rarely fill a bag and in the cooler weather only put out. garbage once a month.
I have decided that I need to reduce my garbage. Anyone else interested in joining me in a garbage reduction challenge?
Some of my particular difficulties are disposing of the dog poop, cellophane wrapping, clear plastic covered trays for fruit especially berries and veggies from the grocery store.
Any links to informative sites would be helpful.
