HOUSEHOLD WASTE AND RUBBISH

A typical household may contribute as much hazardous waste as a typical small business! So, are we possibly misdirecting some of our waste treatment resources?

Furthermore, fast food wrappers and disposable diapers are not the problem compared to how much fresh fruits and vegetables contribute to our overall waste problems.

Also, much of the so-called "biodegradable" garabage may actually never "breakdown" and disintegrate because it needs sunlight to degrade. Once buried in a landfill it will never receive enough sunlight to make it biodegradable!

Additionally, all those packing materials inside the boxes of the merchandise you buy, like styrofoam, may actually help decrease garbage contrary to what many critics want us to believe!
