Weekly rubbish...

This week we have managed to reduce the waste! Recycling was just below last weeks, weighing in at approx. 1kg and general waste weighed approx. 2.5 kgs. I am still seperating the food scraps into a bin outside and plan to get a proper composte bin set up this weekend.

All in all I think we are doing well on the rubbish front!

I would also like to mention the great tips and information I found on my local city council's website. They have a whole section dedicated to sustainable living and now I know where to go and exchange my shower head (if I need to - I will measure it's water rate soon) for a water saving one so that is on the list this weekend too. I'm still not sure if there is a way of getting energy effecient light globes installed for free or if I have to buy them myself? I remember last year my sister had someone come to her flat and change all her globes at no charge. I believe this was a government initiative, but perhaps it has finished now.

I would like to thank you Lyn for the tip about unplugging the appliances and not just switching them off. I did not realise power can still be leaking so thank you for that one.

Now I have to think about what I will cook for tea tonight. I think it's time for vegetables and lots of them, I'm just not sure what else I will put with the vegies to fill up Ben (thinking sustainably here).... Hmmm I will get back to that.
