Waste Not, Want Not

Recycling is a big thing in Italy. And even though it's sometimes a nuisance, I'm glad they have laws about it. I have four trash cans in my kitchen. One for plastic; one for metal and glass; one for paper and cardboard; and one for food waste and everything else. Back in Utah, everything went into the dumpster; but all this is helping me realise what I throw away on a daily basis. I can't believe what I've carelessly thrown into landfills and burn pits. All the sorting and collecting may seem inconvenient now, but I believe it will help sustain our futures.
