So this guy, Dave Chameides, decided to keep all of his trash in the basement for a year and not throw anything out. And he has a family.

It looks like he has a great blog with all kinds of inspiring tips on reducing your waste, and on more sustainable living in general. I like his byline: "noone can do everything but everyone can do something". Here's the video of the final result:
