A great way to reduce the amount of trash that you throw out is to think of other uses for it. Elementary schools are always looking for items for craft times. Plastic bottles, glass jars, magazines, all kinds of stuff can be reused by children. My local Rec center is always looking for different stuff for their craft programs as well. I have seen signs asking for everything from baby food jars to empty cereal boxes. I don't know what they use them for, but it better than just throwing it away. Just because it's trash to you, doesn't mean that someone else can find a use for it.
