I'm with Katrina, I care deeply, and do what I can to be part of the solution, rather than part of the problem.
I've been a conservationist and environmentalist all my life, and have worked with and volunteered for environmental causes since I was a young teen.
My mom, grandmother and great-grandmother were conservationists before me.
I can't honestly say we keep a zero waste home, but we create very little waste, as we compost all organic waste, burn all paper waste, recycle everything else, and purchase as little plastic as possible.
And I've been saving glass bottles for years in the hopes of building a bottle house on our property. Hopefully soon!
It irritates the crap out of me when I see trash on the side of the road, as it is a clear sign of people who just don't care, and think only of themselves.
And I always found it depressing, when sailing and SCUBA diving, to find trash left by boaters and other divers.
It is up to ALL of us to do better.

wow, organic waste compost. You must write about it. I am happy to know that your elders were conservationists too. we need people like them who instill values in children
