My research has taken me to a route I never thought I'd find myself on: Trash-free living.
Obviously not right away, but I'm going to work up to living trash-free at least 3 to 4 days out of the week. What is trash free? Exactly that-- no waste whatsoever. I will compost, reuse, recycle, or just not buy (less consumption also helps). This will be extremely difficult, but not impossible!
As it turns out, you can't curbside recycle everything. With that, I found a couple recycling centers around my neighborhood (Googlemaps) that can take the things I can't recycle at home. For example, medicine bottles, plastic bags, bottle caps, certain types of plastic wraps and cardboards are all everyday items that curb-side recycling will not take care of. Centers like the JG Recycling Co take care of most of these items.
Check out the blogs listed below. They're people who have been living trash-free for a while, and have some interesting ways of doing it. Very informative and very helpful, especially to me!
