In a study I read about it stated all the American fast food places produce more trash in one hour then most countries do in one month. Think about it, every customer leaves with trash to be thrown away somewhere.

Trash seems to be an unattractive resource that we have not yet learned how to manage and use effectively.

Thanks for the link. It was really interesting. I try to recycle everything I can. But, I surely know, I can do a little more. Will have to stay on top of the waste. I wish more people would really try. And that ALL of the states and officials would get on board! It seams, we are still in the "play" stage of recycling.

Thank you, Ditter, for posting this link! I really enjoyed reading this article. I am an avid recycler and have been for many years but I am sure there is plenty more I could be doing. Thanks again!

Thanks for that link...very interesting info. I once saw on TV a family that can fit 1 years of their trash in 1 peanut butter sized jar...it makes me want to try harder.

I recycle as much as I can, but no way can I match that!

I recycle some. Was shocked to find out our trash collector charges EXTRA if you want to recycle. Go figure!!
