    Yes thats why we try to throw away as little as possible. I even wonder about recycled stuff and where it all goes.

    Thanks Rhonda for the link.

    Great link, Rhonda. This is another area I want to improve on at home. We have been trash-aholics (if there is such a thing) for several years now -- even buying paper plates because we are such a busy family. We quit taking the daily paper because it rarely got read so I feel like that is an improvement.

    But what I want to get my family into the habit of doing is recycling. We throw a lot away that could be taken for recycling.

    I've reduced my rubbish thrown out for the dump by half in the last year, just by being more thoughtful about buying goods with packaging, by not wrapping everything in plastic at the supermarket and by recycling. It feels really good to wheel our bin to the curb for collection when it's only half full.

    My plan is to reduce it again by half.
