Congratulations, Kathy. :)
I've been working hard at that. I only have ONE small bag of garbage every two weeks (shopping bag size), and I recycle just about everything else.
I'm also trying to avoid buying things that have a lot of packaging. I think we still have a lot of work to do on that. Not us necessarily, but the people who supply the goods to the stores. I think some packaging is just way too much. Too much waste.
