Not as Much Stuff Equals Not as Much Trash

In this video from Face the Nation, Bob Schieffer reports that due to the current state of the U.S. Economy, there’s been a decline in the amount of consumer waste. Down as much as 30% in places.



Watch CBS Videos Online

We’re buying less unnecessary “stuff” and fixing more things we’d normally throw away. Everyone is a bit more frugal these days it seems.

In other news, if you missed it, I was in carnivals at The Skilled Investor and Money Ning last week.

Interesting news story. I guess there can always be an up side to every situation. We also have become more frugal due to the current economic state of the country.
