At my house, we recycle religiously, as do many across the US. And we're real proud of ourselves. But I think it's time we rethought recycling. It's waste that's killing us. Too much packaging and still too much consumption, at least from where I stand.
Check out this photo I snapped in front of my house this morning: one lonely bag of trash, but a virtual mountain of recycling.
Granted, this isn't all bad. And to be honest, it's a month worth of recycling and a week of trash, But still it illustrates the point that REDUCE is the new RECYCLE. What we don't use is much more important than what we reuse.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Have you seen the "Story of Stuff?"
