This week’s Trashed goes back to the basics – corrugated cardboard…and lots of it. There are some other gems in this photo too. Lots of unbroken down boxes (bad for the garbage men) made of cardboard (recyclable), a bag of yard waste (compostable), bubble wrap (reusable), plastic grocery bags (recyclable), and plastic food containers (recyclable).

On my recent road trip, I spent some time in Northern Indiana. Amish communities dot every county, so examples of sustainability where everywhere. This time I really noticed all the recumbent bikes…they seemed to be everywhere. I also liked the road side pool/pond we drove by, complete with concrete deck, diving boards, and slides. Good [...]

I just got back from a week-long roadtrip to the Midwest, and I had my entire family on recycling watch. I blogged about recycling on the road last month when I drove to the Catskills, but this time I was traveling for an entire week with a family of four – yikes! I’m happy to [...]

Plus, at airports and hotels, everything seems to be disposable. Jet fuel aside, just getting through all my meals without generating piles [...]
