Some trash trivia: The average American throws away 4.5 pounds of trash a day. That styrofoam cup that you drank your coffee out of this morning will still be in the landfill 500 years from now. A 60-watt incandescent light bulb will last about 750 hours, compared to 7,500 to 10,000 hours that a compact fluorescent bulb which generates the same light. 75,000 trees must be cut to provide paper for one edition of the Sunday New York Times.
