A few years ago I drop our garbage can size down to the smallest size possible. We usually sent it out half full so I thought lets get rid of the big one. Since that time we have bought more foods in bulk from shops like Sun Harvest and the farmers markets. The best thing besides great food, is you don't have the bulky marketing packaging,and pretty boxes we don't need.

I took the trash out to the curb the other day and noticed our small can was half full and we had several recycling bins out. I wanted to yell out, hey, come look at our trash. Hey, no, come look we hardly have any trash. I looked down the street and saw all the over flowing cans and wondered if any one would notice. If any one would care.

It may be naive of me but I hope my neighbors care and are in their own struggle to reduce waste. I know some are by the cars they drive and the amount of recycling I see. I know we don't want to be a nanny state and be forced to reduce. Maybe we could have incentives to reduce like plaques, credits or a pretty boxes made from recycled products.
