"Do not wait for extraordinary circumstances to do good action; try to use ordinary situations." --Jean Paul Richter
A World Without Waste
Kamikatsu may be a small backwater in the wooded hills and rice terraces of south-eastern Japan but it's become a world leader on waste policy. Kamikatsu residents have to compost all their food waste and sort other rubbish into 34 different categories. There are no waste collections from households at all, instead people take full responsibility for everything they throw away. This BBC story shares more about their unique and successful waste management approach.

Try taking more responsibility for what you throw away.
