Photos: Green bloggers stash trash

Sitting on the stoop of his Los Angeles home, Dave Chameides, 38, doesn't appear to be a packrat. However, his basement is slowly filling up with the garbage he plans to collect over the course of the year.

Chameides is one of a growing number of "green" bloggers going to great lengths to reduce the waste they generate.
