A Picture is Worth...

Last week a few friends sent me a link to an article about a photographer who had taken pictures of people lying amongst 7 days worth of their trash. I was thrilled to see further attention being drawn to how much garbage a person creates each day(4.3 lbs), and I immediately was interested in finding out how my own family's picture would look.

Recycling is on our right, land fill on our left. I did not include compost. I consider recyclables to be part of our waste because many resources are consumed during the recycling process, not to mention that a lot of recyclables don't make it to the recycling center, as they fall out of bins or off the truck.

Thanks for stopping by,
