> Thu 25/10/07 - The average Fleming now produces 16kg less waste
> annually than a year ago. What's more we are also top of the class
> when it comes to sorting our domestic waste for recycling.

> According to the Flemish Environment Minister Hilde Crevits (Christian
> democrat, photo), the reduction in the amount of waste Flemings
> produce is due to us becoming more aware of ways in which to reduce
> the amount of things we throw away.

> The Minister added that a rise in the price of bin liners has also
> made Flemings think harder about waste.
>
> The minister reflected that the fall is even more surprising as
> consumption has risen by 3% over the past twelve months.
