Walking and driving the dirt roads adjacent to the farm, I feel like the adopt-a-highway crew. For some reason folks must think that rural means just pitch those containers out of the window. It is quite an assortment: cans, bottles, cardboard, Styrofoam, and paper. Some of the vehicles they drive makes me think the trash would not affect the aesthetics of the interiors much.
My wife has started washing the containers we get from restaurants to bring home leftovers. It is a bit of a hassle keeping them in the vehicles, but we have won points from restaurants and wait-people for bringing our own reused container.
Throwing something "away" it is a phony notion. There is no "away", there is just someplace else. The more we reuse the less we send someplace else.
