When you see a pile of trash in a dumpster, think of it as a mound of valuable resources --not waste.
Trash contains bits of paper made by cutting down majestic forests, metal that was mined by destroying land, glass that is made using a lot of energy from coal burning power plants and plastic , which is made in ways that pollutes the water.
Most of what is put in a trash can should be put, instead, in a recycling bin.
Yet in my state, Alabama, only 1 in 100 people recycle. About 1% of waste is recycled. But in Seattle, Washington, 53.7 percent of the waste is recycled, saving valuable resources.
We need public service ads on television and in the newspaper to accomplish our goals.

Instead of toilet paper, I use small three inch by three inch squares of terry cloth that I made from washclothes.
Each time I use one, I wash it immediately with soap and hang it to dry on a clothes line that hangs over my bath tub.
