Struggling with zero waste? Me too!
Here’s how I’m tracking week to week (all graphs updated monthly):
The recent spikes are due to moving house at the beginning of August. I’ve done an adjusted graph taking out the two moving weeks, but weirdly the date order is swapped?:
Or the monthly totals:
Or the cumulative total:
Here’s a summary of some cool reuses of what you think trash are: Zero waste – things I learnt today
Then I got crazy, and thought I’d track things a little closely, starting slowly, but now I’m aiming for weekly:
24 April was a linen closest audit
Zero waste & coffee cups (5 June)
Why I’m not plastic free (19 June)
Zero waste & tissues (26 June)
Zero waste & grated cheese (3 July)
Zero waste & dental floss (10 July)
7 August **moving house**
Zero Waste & Meat (28 Aug)
Zero Waste & Loose Fresh Produce (4 Sept)
Zero Waste & Band Aids? (11 Sept)
Zero Waste & Corn Chips? (18 Sept)
Zero Waste & Going Out? (25 Sept)
The topics with questions marks are things I’m still struggling with (suggestions welcomed), and the others are solutions to different products and being zero waste.
Sarah, I wasn't sure how to contact you directly, but I still have my copy of Zero Waste Home I'd be happy to mail it to you. email me with your address if you would like it.
Oh Lois that's so generous of you, I'll email you now! Thank you!
Sarah this is amazingly nerdy – I obviously love it.
Next level right?
