Did you know that Americans dispose more than 700 billion pounds of paper, plastic, glass, wood, food, metal, clothing, electronics, etc. Concentrated products often require less packaging, resulting in less energy to transport it to the store and less plastic to recycle. Go thrifty. The gift of giving is a wonderful thing.
