11.15.09 - our trash+recycling wasn't picked up this week because veteran's day happened to fall on a collection day. as we were taking out the trash this evening, i couldn't help but be stunned by the large heap i saw in the sorting area of our apartment complex. it's mind-boggling how so much trash can pile up for just one building. imagine how many pounds of garbage are on our block - let alone the entire city.
over the last few years, we been trying to "go green" little by little and reduce our consumption. but, we can certainly do better. this couple serves as my inspiration -- 1 bag of trash in 1 year -- probably impossible for most but something to strive for.
