20 Jun 2020 : Waste data dump #
My latest waste data dump just has been uploaded. My daily average over the last fortnight was 162g per day, which is a generally decent result for me. My goal is less than 300g, and during lockdown I've been closer to 150g, but a month ago it looked like things were creeping up. I'm much happier with 162g. That sets my 2020 average to date at 199g per day, compared to 304g in 2019. Breaking it down, my plastic output was rather high this fortnight. This is a bit of a cycle, because I buy many products in plastic containers (cosmetics; foods; cleaning products) which often last more than a fortnight. Returnables is also up because in the hot weather I'm buying more drinks. This was counterbalanced by less card and paper although I'm not really sure why to be honest.
