I read an article about this on TreeHugger. http://bit.ly/qsYOp It was very interesting and I can't believe this kind of study hasn't been done before (maybe it has and just hasn't gotten to the press). I've heard various people say that it's so "American" to just chuck something in the trash bin and forget about it. Many of us never think twice about what actually happens to those eggshells, pizza boxes, or snack wrappers. It goes way beyond hauling the cans out for trash day. We don't realize how lucky we are that our garbage just gets taken away, not to be dealt with again. Honestly, it's very scary. I am eagerly anticipating this report and I hope it will change the way we look at trash!
