Good point. Over here we are getting used to the use less concept as well. Here are some things that we do to make life easier. 1.have a bin that you put ALL useless burnable materiel in. 2. Have a bucket that all food waste goes into for animals (pigs, chickens etc.). 3. Have a bin that all cans and bottles go into. 4. Compost 5. reuse grocery bags. The rest is your choice, buy less use less.
