We have a real problem on our hands. The amount of waste the average American produces has more than doubled since the 1960s from around 2 pounds per person per day to over 4 pounds per person per day. That’s a lot of garbage in our homes! It’s time to make more room for fun in our homes and less room for trash.
There are many simple steps you can take today to help cut down on our household waste
- Take inventory of what your household is throwing away. Ask members of your family to track their waste for a few days and then set reasonable goals to cut down that amount.
- Create a compost pile for yard and food waste. Follow these easy steps if you are unfamiliar with this process: http://eartheasy.com/grow_compost.html.The compost can be used as a fertilizer for your soil or even for mulch.
- Repurpose things rather than throwing them away. For example, use an old toothbrush as a tool to clean grout. Also, use old t-shirts or rags for your household cleaning. These things may seem very simple but they go a long way to reduce the amount of household waste you produce.
- The biggest portion of our waste in this country comes from packaging, particularly plastic. Try to avoid items that contain excessive packaging or just buy things in bulk. A large box of cereal, for example, will produce much less volume of waste than several smaller boxes.
- Go reusable instead of disposable. Try rechargeable batteries to avoid having to throw away old batteries often. Go for a razor with a replaceable cartridge rather than a disposable razor that needs to be thrown out frequently. Avoid lots of paper waste from paper towels by using cleaning rags instead.
