RE:What percent of your refuse was Compost vs Recycling vs Trash?
Here are my numbers for the week:
Compost.........................................1 lb 12 oz....................(16% of total) Metal & Plastic Recycling.......................15oz.....................(9% of total) Paper & Junk Mail Recycling............7 lbs ...........................(65% of total) Trash..............................................1 lb 2oz.......................(10% of total) Grand Total for Week..................10 lbs 13 oz
Average American's solid waste for week: 28lbs
What did I learn? >Shocked at how much paper & junk mail I still use/get. 65% of total! Need to work on that one. >Much greater awareness of trash creation outside of home -- at work, at restaurants, etc. >Noticed that "Nature's Packaging" (banana peel, avacado skin, etc.) is completely reusable (compost) >Also learned how much of my solid waste creation goes un-noticed by me.
Much more aware after this week!
