problem: refuse (garbage)
solution: complete seperation of product packaging and other trash, compost natural stuff (egg shells, banana peels, etc)
side-benefit: not only are you helping the recycling effort, but you would be building your own compost heap that you could use as fertilizer in your garden or under your lawn, whatever you want to grow better/faster/last longer. also, if you seperate out the paper and cardboard, you can use that in a fireplace or franklin stove to help heat your place in the winter. it's not that much more effort, as we are already seperating plastics, glass and metal.
