The Weight of the matter.
Full Garbage can.
How much garbage to we go through in a day, week, month, and year? How much do we recycle? The best way to see what we throw away is to weight it on the way out of the house. Get a bathroom scale and take the empty garbage can and weight it. Write down the weight. When the garbage is full take and place on the scale. Write down the weight and subtract the empty can weight. This is the weight of the garbage. Do this once a day or when full and it will give you the amount of garbage that you are sending out the door. Add up all the days in month and you see how much is ending up in landfills. Now, how can we increase the amount that we recycle and lesson the amount going to landfills.
