How many bag a week does your household bring to the curb ?

Do you have a compost bin ?

What are you doing, other then talk, to bring about this change in society ?

I was at the Walmart a couple months ago when a stock boy was replenishing the 'black and decker' paint brushes. First, he opened a long rectangular box, and in that box was 4 smaller boxes. Each smaller box contained 2 paint brushes rapped in plastic ready to rack.

Who really has the problem ?

Now we wouldn't want a cardboard box manufacture to go under would we?

Wasn't this Zero Waste challenge canceled anyways for the stupid nonsensical name ?

Meaningless rhetoric.

N.W.

Jen, there’s a problem that keeps us from doing what we “should” do on a personal level.

Metro and our cities make it rediculously easy to be wasteful. Think weekly collection of anything we don’t want any more, no questions asked. Think street litter bins. We spend millions of tax dollars helping people be wasteful!

There are millions of dollars worth of materials going to our landfills because people don’t know what to do with them. Craig’s list is a start… cities can build the momentum by zoning and promoting big new “Discard Malls” where folks can browse for stuff they need instead of going out and buying new.

We need to change our culture and create opportunities as a community as well as “on the personal level.”
