I don't put liquids in the bin. Food scraps are composted. I also used store bags to take my lunch. Does anyone not reuse plastic bags?

Can't speak to this study, but now I have to buy plastic bags to line my garbage cans instead of reusing the ones stores give me. All in all I still throw out fewer bags.

That's a great blog. I don't like the term MacMansion. Everyone seems to have their own definition and sometimes it's applied to anything new and big that someone is envious of.
