New Year’s Resolution? Try myzerowaste.com
The Strauss family from Gloucestershire challenged themselves to only have their dustbin emptied once in 2009!
Exercising great care and discipline they examined everything they bought to ensure as much packaging as possible was recyclable. In doing so, they managed to cut their waste down to less than 100g (3.5oz) a week.
The website was born out of this mission and contains tips from readers on how and what can be recycled. Check out the site at myzerowaste.com
In 2010, the Strauss’s hope to create zero waste to landfill. Impressive!

Hi Ben And Ann (loving those names!) Thanks for the mention of our site and mission for 2010. Our bin is being emptied on 13th Jan and from then on we will do our best to create zero waste to landfill for the rest of the year.
Keep up the great work with your site and spreading the news of eco minded individuals and campaigns.
Warm wishes
