The dustbin is full to the top with colored plastic. In fact, it is so full that it is difficult to put the
lid on. But the Strauss family, who own this dirty, old dustbin, are very proud of it. Why? Because it
contains all the family’s rubbish for a whole year!

Two years ago, this family read an article about plastic bags and how they cause pollution and
harm sea creatures. They decided to stop using plastic bags completely. Now, when they buy food, they
reuse their own bags each time. They recycle as much as they can - glass bottles, plastic bottles, paper,
cardboard, cans - and they simply do not buy things if they cannot recycle the packaging

The family is keeping a record of their lifestyle on their website. They hope that other people will
read it and reduce their waste. If everyone recycled a bit more, it would make the environment better.
