That is awesome, I wish I could have the same dedication as this couple, it's great that they condensed their waste to one bag for an entire year! Wow!

Wow, that's amazing!
This caught my eye when looking at what was in the bag:
7. One light bulb that blew. Reason: weren’t committed enough to live with the rhythms of nature.
How neat would that be? Other than it getting dark quite early in the winter (I like my bedtime books!) I think that would be a very healthy way to live!
