Waste Diet

THE WASTE DIET is a campaign to encourage people to reduce their Household landfill waste. Our household of 4 people is committing ourselves to not sending any waste (or very minimal waste) to the landfill for the entire year of 2008. We are challenging every household in the country to try it for at least one day, one week, one month, or one year. Join us in our quest for less waste.

On January 1st, 2008 our family started a year long project called “The Waste Diet”. Our goal is to go the entire year producing as minimal landfill waste as possible. We’ve been researching our project and weighing our trash since October of last year and have just completed our first official month. By changing our shopping habits, getting serious about recycling and composting in the backyard, we’ve been able to cut our monthly waste from 160lbs to only 23lbs.
