Several ways to reduce your trash are to buy used goods, which are cheaper and not any worse than new. You can also use less packaging material when packing or buying. Buy things that have a more than one time use or if you buy things buy disposable and recyclable items. You can also borrow items from family or friends to not fill landfill.

Earth Day
In 1960, Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin felt that it was time to improve the environment. On April 22 Earth day was established to raise the attention of the public to the problem of worldwide pollution. Earth day was announced in Seattle, Washington. In 1990, nearly 200 million people, and over 140 countries celebrated earth day. Today it is celebrated by almost 1 billion people which is about 1/6 of the world.
