Veronica's family cares about the environment. They reuse items when they can, and recycle anything that can be recycled. Some items cannot be recycled, so they must be thrown in the garbage. Veronica wants to find a way to reduce the amount of garbage her family produces each week, to reduce the amount of space taken up at the local landfill.
