Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy?

I too struggle with decisions whether to buy appliances that will ultimately reduce waste. For example, getting a soy milk maker to avoid many, many cartons of soy milk, or a soda maker. I guess it comes down to how much you will use it, and how important those foods are to you. The main thing is thinking these things through, like you are, rather than just buying whatever is convenient without giving a thought to the impact.
