Slim the bin

Nicola & Pete plus daughters Lola, now 9 and Nell, now 7, spent last year exploring Britain in a carbon-light manner. Our spring 2008 challenge is to give up waste from 24 March to 24 April. Most posts are by Nicola (as it was her silly idea). This is how it’s going:

We’ve found that the simplest way to stop waste going out of the house is to avoid it coming in.

Just in case we forget the bin has been taped up using a picture by Lola.

Verdict: it's fun - at any rate it's fun if you're a competitive sort of a person!
