"Or let’s talk waste. In 2005, per-capita municipal waste production (basically everything that’s put out at the curb) in the U.S. was about 1,660 pounds. Let’s say you’re a die-hard simple-living activist, and you reduce this to zero. You recycle everything. You bring cloth bags shopping. You fix your toaster. Your toes poke out of old tennis shoes. You’re not done yet, though. Since municipal waste includes not just residential waste, but also waste from government offices and businesses, you march to those offices, waste reduction pamphlets in hand, and convince them to cut down on their waste enough to eliminate your share of it. Uh, I’ve got some bad news. Municipal waste accounts for only 3 percent of total waste production in the United States." - D. Jensen
This report is about waste that people throw away. If people throw recycle twice as much as they usually do, then the recycled amount of things that should be recycled would be doubled. If people didn't use any toilet paper, made their own clothes, ate all of their food, usedno electricity , and grew their own stuff, thenthey wouldnt need to recycle and have no waste. Oh, and i forgot to say that the person who wrote it was Derrik Jensen.
If people recycled everything, and people used water cars, then there would be no pollution or waste. But that would probably never happen. If it does i would be very suprised. It would also help the enviroment if people did not cut down many trees. if they did that the roads would be more fun to drive on and the trees live. Most roads here are really boring because their all straight and flat and stuff. But people here should also recycle a lot more.
