More waste data on the waste page. The new data covers a fortnight, which is a good sign (a longer gap usually means less waste). More than a week of that I spent working from home, which I'd expect to cause an increase in waste output. That's partly true: my compost output is higher because I've been throwing away more used coffee granules! But a decrease in glass (to zero!) has compensated and my overall output of 139g/day is well below my 300g/day target. It might be hard to keep this up if I'm spending more time at home. Time will tell.

Last weekend I was in Helsinki and this last week has seen unusual events at work keeping me away from home, so my waste output is low again. So low that I skipped a week of going to the bins. Overall, my daily average for the last fortnight has been 146g per day, less than half my 300g target, which is great. That's pretty similar to the week before, but with an increase in glass balanced out by a decrease in compostables. That's not a comparable switch, but probably a one-off given that I finally polished off the last bottle intended for Christmas consumption! That sets my daily average so far for 2020 at 233g of waste per day.
