    I was surprised by the results as I produce little trash, recycle and eat local foods and low meat diet. We have very little waste as I raise chickens and they eat all food scraps. I know there are more changes I can make but living in the city some of those are more difficult or out of my control. I will need to reflect on this a see what other changes I can consider.

      How cool that you can "recycle scraps" into eggs. Do you use the chicken manure in gardening? A friend who lived on a farm gave me several bags of manure and it was the best crop of roses I ever grew!
