Waste

Hampshire County Council has a  Smart Living initiative which gives in depth advice on reducing waste in the kitchen, home, fashion, garden and packaging.

Why not choose one area to look at every month and set a waste reduction target for the month? Counting the number of items thrown away can be quite revealing, as Rob Greenfield discovered when he decided to wear all the rubbish he consumed for a month! The Great Big Plastic Count has resources to get started.

The Story of Stuff project has some great videos for learning how and where things are made and what happens when they are thrown ‘away’.
