My household drives 0%, because we live in a major city. I don't even have a valid drivers' license. I already bike or take public transit to work every day.

We're talking about one measure, one that's specifically coextensive with managing your waste (assuming you don't throw your trash into a pile in the corner of your room). It takes me no extra time to throw a banana peel in the compost bin instead of the trash can; they're right next to each other.
