It seems this was a super-successful week for my waste budget. In fact, I skipped my trip to the bins last weekend because they weren't full enough to make it worthwhile. So my average over the last fortnight was 87g a day, well below my 300g target. That brings my average for this year down to 200g per day. Not every week is going to be like this, but it does show that with a bit of planning and individul will it's possible to bring the amount of waste we produce down. In particular, I'm avoiding tins and glass and doing my best not to throw out any out-of-date food. It's strange to think that just by creating myself arbitrary goals it's altered my willingness to eat older food. I'm so easily to manipulate, I can even do it to myself.
