Looking around my house and seeing all of the conveniences that have accumulated over the years, I can see why we are known as the throwaway society. On any given day, items used around the home for cleaning, cooking, or lounging around end up in the trash and hauled away to a landfill already overflowing with waste. Unfortunately, millions of people are indulging in the luxury of convenience items such as disposable water bottles and diapers, contributing to landfill and pollution problems.
