We have a landfill collection every 2 weeks. Our usual waste is a bag and a half every 2 weeks. So, we put in 1 bag one time and 2 the next, that's our usual. I'm not sure if it's clear but the bag in the picture isn't full, we usually over stuff them!!! This bag is for the last 2 weeks. Much less than our usual :) Clearly, far too much and for those on zero waste this is about 20 years landfill rubbish, but a small improvement none-the-less! As I said before, looking at those on zero rubbish can be a bit intimidating. I'm doing this, slowly, working out how as I go along. I began this year wanting to reduce the amount of plastic that we as a family throw away. As the journey has gone on it's turning into something much more challenging, reducing land fill waste...Next week I will photograph our plastic waste to see how we are getting on with that.
