crazy quote i read today…

The United States spends more on trash bags than ninety other countries spend on everything. In other words, the receptacles of our waste cost more than all of the goods consumed by nearly half of the world’s nations.

Polly LaBarre

really? can you believe that? i’m happy to say that we have waaaaaaaaaay reduced our waste since reading this book. but still, it’s just a drop in the bucket. we still have a house full of consumer minded americans over here.
