Day 15: Landill

Here is our landfill for the last fortnight (we are a family of 5). The black bin was up to the very top 2 weeks ago (as it usually was). I am staggered by the change.

I have quite often found myself having bought something to eat, say, and then looking at what it’s wrapped in and realising I need to take it home to recycle. I hope soon I might ask myself that packaging question before I buy …

Today’s text message on system change was interesting – there is one clear message from my challenge so far – if we had an easier way of recycling soft plastic it would make it so much easier to cut down on landfill.
