The garbage sticking out of this trashcan is the amount of waste the family produced in one year. And they haven\u2019t achieved this by digging up their lawn to hide all their waste. The Strauss family recycles. These folks have produced an average of just 2oz of garbage a week. The family has disposed of its garbage wisely by using it as compost and landfill. That\u2019s not all; they have even burnt up their old wooden toilet seat in the living room fireplace. They have been growing some of their own food, reusing shopping bags and have stopped receiving junk mail. Next year, the family aims to produce no garbage at all. <\/p>\n<p>This pursuit to cleanliness began 18 months ago when the family, 53 year old Richard Strauss, his wife Rachelle, 37, and their eight year old daughter Verona, came across an article on the effects of plastic waste on marine life. Their dwelling place, a three bedroom house in Longhope, Gloucestershire is heated using a wooden burner and is partially<br \/>\npowered up using solar energy. The Strauss family sure has created an example that everyone should learn from.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/1209\/31\/green_family2.php\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/1209\/31\/green_family2.php','popup','width=634,height=434,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenlaunches.com\/entry_images\/1209\/31\/green_family2-thumb-450x308.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"308\" alt=\"green_family2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-1239389\/Meet-ultimate-green-family-recycle-bin-rubbish-year.html\">Dailymail<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maybe you don\u2019t look at your trash can with a twinkle in your eye, but the Strauss family sure do!
