I avoid plastic, buying juice in glass containers and try to use cans; both are easily and completely recycled. And of course paper, cotton, lint, egg shells and food scraps goes to the worms. Garbage is decreased by half. I also complain nicely everywhere I go when choosing between the containers and even write to companies who wrap items in plastic which is wrapped in plastic or those idiotic hard plastic clamshells.
We consumers are far too nice and too lazy to get on their behinds. I also buy products in larger sizes when possible. I am new here and look forward to reading and learning from all of you, starting with this wonderful thread.
