A lot of plastic is unnecessary or packaging unhealthy things, like soda bottles.
Since I decided to avoid packaged food, I dropped my landfill waste by about 90%, documented here: http://joshuaspodek.com/js_blogseries/avoiding-food-packagin.... Substituting fresh vegetables, fruit, and mushrooms has made my diet
- more delicious
- more convenient (once I learned to cook from fresh)
- cheaper, and
- more community-based.
In other words, better by every measure I care about. The last time I emptied my garbage was June, over six months ago. Anyone can improve his or her life as I did. It doesn't solve everything, but it improves your life.
