Reduce, Reuse and recycle.

Trash is getting happier and happier this Saturday.
While going thru the archives of this blog I have seen strides the 'stead has made that I rally didnt recognize..
I wrote a postover a year ago called one man one acre about our urban footprint..
At that time we were tossing 3 trashcans a week out to the curb for pickup. By realizing the waste that could be reused with little extra time, this morning I brought one trash can back from the curb..
Packaging, cardboard and other go to the recycle bin, cans and metal go to the recycle. Organic food (meat scraps go to the dog ,cats, birds and then to the trash.. All veggie scraps,fruit lefties, potato skins, coffee grounds and egg shell get used in the garden. For a family of five people and the zoo one can is great. more like 1 man 1/6 of an acre.
