Trash...

You know what I’d like to know?  How one person, one dog and one cat can generate so much trash!  I'm part of the less garbage revolution, really.  I try not to buy things with too much packaging and I bring my own bags to the grocery store – and even to WalMart.  I put food waste down the garbage disposal and try to flatten and recycle cardboard as much as I can.  I recycle my aluminum cans.  I shred my scrap paper and documents that have been scanned.  But I still manage to come up with an entire bag of trash – or more – every single day.  I wonder what I’m doing wrong – or does everyone produce this much trash every day?  Enquiring minds want to know.
