Chloe heard about something called "zero waste". It's a new idea with all garbage in the world. It sounds a little crazy, but that's the goal. Some cities like San Francisco already recycle 68 precent of their trash. Her friend read about a company that's recycling food wast. They put it all together and turn it into compost. Then they sell the compost to farmers. From UK Chris and her husband tried to live for one month without plastic. Before they started they counted all the plastic items they used in a month. The total was 603. They not entirely succeed but they bring the number of items down to 106, about 80 percent less than the month before. Recycling is a great thing, but its not really the answer to our problems. She thinks the solution is city should charge customers by the weight of their garbage. In other words, produce less garbage-pay less money! We can all do so much to reduce waste. It just takes a little time, though and planning.
