Trash, Recycle, or Compost. What's in Your Trash Can?

Ranging 1 - 5, five being the highest, what score would you
give yourself for recycling? Do you get lazy and toss a recy-
clable item in the trash for convenience, or swipe off uneaten food vs put it in a container for a left over snack/meal?

What if you dumped all your home trashcan contents in a pile, and sorted it, what do you think you'd find? How does it smell?

I don't need to give facts, since most individuals are aware of what their city recycling program entails. I just want to replant a seed(s) that may have been blown in the wind and needs to be replanted.

Can you recycle more than you do now? How much food is tossed out each day/week in your home? Can you reduce your home trash down to a cereal or bread bag this week? Reuse a tortilla, bread, cereal, etc, bag for all your trash the next few days. I'm sure you'll be surprised how you can reduce your impact, and save on pricey tall kitchen bags that don't get used to their full extent nor break down at the dump!
