There are lots of ways to produce less waste. One practical solution is the use of reusable grocery bags rather than relying upon supermarkets and stores to provide you with plastic or paper sacks instead. Furthermore, if you are only using the reusable bag, many times they are smaller than the standard grocery basket, meaning you are inclined to purchase less. Less product=less waste associated with the purchase.
Recycling is another answer -- while we may still be producing waste of some sort, it goes back into production as a new item (can, bag, paper, etc.). It has been estimated that by recycling one aluminum can, enough energy is produced to run a light bulb for one solid hour.
These are just two of the ways that we as consumers can produce less rubbish.
