Read an article regarding a system where DVDs automatically "rust" so they can't be played after two days. This is so people can rent the movie and not have to return it.

Now that we have begun to live a more simple, frugal life it offends me how much waste there is in this country. From disposable washclothes and bibs, single servings of food, and now DVDs.

Buy in bulk and break the portions down to single servings. (Costs less and doesn't produce as much waste with packaging)

Wash your washclothes and bibs. (Once again, cheaper and less garbage)

And borrow your DVDs from the library (In most cases you can keep them a week) Or if you can't remember to return them, then don't rent any. (Saves ya money.)

We need to start thinking of saving our resources for future generations. And even if you don't think one person can help, you are wrong. Every little bit helps, and if others see you doing it, they are much more likely to join in.
