My latest copy of Today’s Parent magazine has a bunch of articles on Going Green, including one about this couple, who live in Toronto and who have tried to go garbage-free for the past two years. In my current quest to reduce the amount of garbage that we produce, I was pretty excited to hear about them and to read their tips. They managed to go completely garbage free in February of this year, but since then, they have found that being completely garbage free sometimes causes them to use up more energy in other areas. In the interest of using the smallest amount of energy possible, they have decided to allow themselves some garbage, but even so, they only produce one small bag every three weeks.
So inspirational!

Thanks for the link and the kind words. Lately we’ve managed to extend that small bag to 5 or 6 weeks, which I feel better about.

No problem at all…I’ve been reading your site and as I said in my post, it’s quite inspirational. I like the way you’ve made going garbage-free part of your lifestyle — you make it seem like we can all do it! I found lots of little things we could be doing better, easy things that I just hadn’t thought of before. You should write a book!
