One significant obstacle on my zero waste journey, interfering with my ambition to send zero trash bags to the dump each week:

I feel compelled to pick up other people's garbage off the street, especially in front of my house. This goes in my trash bin, and now I have trash.

@skyfaller OMG no! Those are in the decrement column! They bring your count down, not add to it!

@adamgreenfield @skyfaller Yes, what Adam said. You are earning karma points, not trash bag demerits.

@oreoteeth @adamgreenfield Thank you folks, this is a better way to think about it.

I just hate having bags of garbage to throw out, even if I know it's partly because I'm cleaning up my neighborhood.

@skyfaller @adamgreenfield Zero waste is just really freaking hard in our post-industrial society. My in-laws are farmers and even with so much less food packaging there are certain unavoidable plastics like my uncle's diabetic syringes. You are killing it!
