How can I make trash bin hard to get to?

On Finder under 'actions', 'remove to trash' is very close to the action 'new file' today, when trying to open a new file, by mistake I pressed on the action 'remove to trash'. and with a click a year's work file was sent to trash. lucky for me that I noticed it as it happened and could undo the last action. I hope nothing was deleted on the way.

my question is there a way to make this action not so trivial, something like a two action operation? or anything else to prevent such mistakes?
