less is more

i read an article in Sunset Magazine about a family living in Mill Valley, Ca that produces zero garbage in their home. and no, they don't just sneak stuff into neighbor's trash bins...
i can't get this family out of my head...i think they are undertaking a big job and they probably put up with a lot of eye rolling attitude from family and friends (although they do live in Mill Valley :)
anyhow, while i don't intend on producing zero waste, i would like for this family to produce less waste, and i intend to check out zero waste blog from time to time to keep me inspired.

case in point: this is a picture of our house post christmas...see what i mean? i think the zero waste family would be disturbed to see this.
