Response to Derrick Jensen - JK

"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

well I think that the dude is a brave man to reduce his his wast to 0. with a last name like jensen you can do anything. if i had to reduce my wast to 0 does that include TV because i like my TV well problem i guess im going to have to go with out my tv for a year but my tv is fun to watch. we make to much wast in are life time but we were brought up in this world. 0% that a lot of work

I have some questions for derrick like how was life with out all that stuff we live with. living with out the stuff we can live with out and then some. i guess i might be able to reduce my energy out put by unplugging the chargers when not using them. Maybe we all can make a difference in are life if we used less trash. have fun.
