Cleaning it up doesn't fix the problem: we're producing disposable garbage.

We can stop buying disposable stuff -- plastic bags, coffee cups, stupid gifts people use for thirty seconds before throwing it away, etc.

How much stuff within your reach or eyesight will be used for under a month then never again that you could have not bought?

It's a start that will improve your life not to get the stuff. Yes we can do more, but let's at least start with what we immediately control.
