EDIT - just seen the post above and went to the link, which mentions "how empty can you keep your bin".... I know that I used to have only one supermarket bag of rubbish a week - I have twice that now, I know. I don't quite know why? I think I'll keep a log after the end of the holiday period of what I actually throw away.

That's a bit of a shocker KC - I usually have less than that... :eek:

Though this week has been bad as I've stocked up on breakfast cereal. Most of my waste has been breakfast cereal boxes.

exactly - we'll get there won't we!

And, that being said, I do like xmas cards - very much - just not good at being organised to send any - which I tell myself is due to being green - but really its cos I'm a lazy !!!!!

Hmm, are you serious, with those smilies?

Ha! You put breakfast cereal boxes in the landfill? Bad Z! Mine has lots of plastic bags that contained food - oats, cornflakes, cheese, frozen veg; boxy type things are the margarine tub ... I'm definitely going to do an audit.

I use mine for packaging and making parcels - - then again I do post off alot of plants and we don't each much cereal.

When I remember of course - but then again - our rubbish goes up 'north' and is burnt for heat - so when I did chuck things out - I felt OK cos I was keeping someone else warm.

Its a worry all of this isn't it?

Another thing to attack when I'm at home working proper.

Another book sold on amazon but I've cancelled it and put myself on holiday - I can't guarantee delivery at the moment - best off me thinks.

Thanks for that link, its got some really good stuff on it.

I feel a nice new year challenge coming on - I'd be up for that.

Bit like the grocery challenge but for your bin.

Perfect

Serious moi? It's more the fact that I don't recycle anything but glass, and you're a greeny, and I *still* throw less away than you... :eek::eek::eek::eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

Absolutely. Ever since those councils were caught dumping the recycling into the same landfill as the rest of the stuff, I haven't bothered.

Food goes to the worms. Except meat, but I eat everything when I do meat.

Stealth worms at the moment though - keeping a very low profile in this weather....

Everyone needs to touch a hippy

We've not got one *yet* its on my list - more *productive* pets to have.

Any worms (outwith the intestinal tract) is good in my book, well aside from NZ flatworm, We've an issue with NZ flatworm here - which is why I sell everything bare-rooted when I sell plants.

You got those in your area?
