One enthusiastic Earth Worker recommends:
'Think twice befor disposing of any household waste.'

Before attending an Earth Works course he used to fill a 120 litre-garbage bin every week
After attending the course, by 'thinking twice' and refusing plastic shopping bags, recycling paper and packaging, and composting, he has reduced his waste to a 60-litre bin every three weeks!
