It's something we have all heard many times, but how often do we stop and really think about what a wasteful people Americans are? With so many advantages over smaller countries, we will often take our plentiful resources for granted. Thus, we become very wasteful; maybe even the most wasteful people in the world. Every year, this country produces enough garbage to fill a line of dump trucks all the way to the moon. Can you imagine that? That is a lot of garbage! And we can't help but wonder how much of that was just wasted. And not only that, but we are also wasteful with our money and food as well. If there is anything to be wasted, you can bet that the American people do it.
Today we find ourselves living in a country of fast and easy solutions to everything from family problems to the food we eat everyday. or should I say don't eat? With fast food restaurants located in every town and city on the map, and our seemingly endless supply of food, it's no wonder we waste so much food. It's all too easy to take our supply of food for granted. It wouldn't be surprising to see someone pull through a drive-through restaurant, order a sandwich only to take two or three bites and then throw it out. With incidents such as this occurring everyday, who would believe that there are actually starving people in our own country? Who could worry about wasting food when our pockets are full of enough money to buy fast food everyday, and our kitchen cabinets .
are stocked full? Speaking of our kitchen cabinets, lets take a look at what is in some of them.
Looking into the cabinets, drawers, and closets of the average American family, we can find a numerous amount of disposable products. So many companies and corporations are finding new ways to try to make things easier by inventing disposable items. The most popular disposable items are likely to include: diapers, kitchenware, and cleaning products.
