Weekly Weigh In 4

This weeks landfill bag weighed in at 178g, so again this is under my 200g target.

I am really pleased about this as we are now keeping below this level regularly.

We have also been using any of the cinders from the coal fire for making a path which is going to run along the side of the greenhouse once it is put up.

Recycling Crisp Packets

Please take a look at my zero waste . Today there is an article spotlighting a charity which uses crisp packet and other non recyclable rubbish to help famillies in the Philippines.

Also take a look at Philippine Community Fund as this is the actual charity website and has an online catalogue so goods made from the recycled rubbish can be purchased.

General tweaking and housekeeping

I have had a play around a little with blogger and have imported the posts from my previous Green blogs to have them all under one heading.

The main reason for doing this was because it means everything is now in one place rather than over 3 or 4 blogs.

I hope this may make it easier for visitors as well.

Weekly Weigh In 2

Well the landfill bag today weighed in at 168g, and is only the size of a full pencil case thanks to the tips from over on My Zero Waste .

I had always tried to compact things as small as possible but the bags just seemed to puff back up with air, however by using a tiny bit of sellotape to secure said package it has remained tight and compact.
