In Case You Missed It

KC Star, Sunday, page A2, "Facts About U.S. Trash"

• Average trash produced per person 4.6 pounds daily
• 254 million tons of household trash produced in 2007
• More than half ends up in landfills
  
• 33% of the total was paper/paperboard (WL recycles)
  
• 12% plastics (WL recycles)
  
• 8% metal (WL recycles)
• There are only 1,800 landfills in the US, EPA projects they will be full in 20 years

It's just a habit, really. Me and Mboy made our weekly stop at the CC to make our "deposits". What about you?
