Waste Nothing! Try this...

I once read about a couple that decided to go one entire year without producing trash! As much as possible, they reduced their waste, reused containers and recycled packaging, composted, donated unused items and clothing and and borrowed or made by hand what they needed. 


At the end of the year, their entire garbage collection for disposal - recyclable packaging, dull razor blades, etc. - fit within an average sized shoebox!


The feat was without question impressive. Though it didn't inspire me to imitate their example, it did heighten my awareness. I learned to appreciate leftover fragments and waste as little as possible to this day.

About me: I give Economic, Social and Global trend briefings from some of the world's brightest minds at my blog http://saveriomanzo.com/ and http://saveriomanzo.blogspot.com/. I also provide true and tested financial planning and wealth advice. Most recently, over the past few years, I have become socially conscious and have been attempting to practise ways in which I can live my life more environmentally friendly.   Along with some truly exceptional friends, we provide consulting and business development for small-medium sized businesses.  In addition, I truly believe in being philanthropic, giving and doing unto other as we would have them do unto us. Some of my fondest resources are from Barry Ritholtz of The Big Picture, David Rosenberg and what Warren Buffett of Berkshire Hathaway is up to behind the scenes, as an example. saverio manzo
