How can we reduce personal waste?

Normally we are encouraged to think about re-cycling materials by putting them to separate waste bins - plastic metal paper glass other (sorting at source) … but this is about recycling efficiency.

How can we reduce personal waste?

In your group,
(c) Make a list of your typical daily / weekly waste by product (rather than material)
(d) Collectively what is your biggest contribution to our waste problem?
How would you measure it – by weight or by environmental impact?

Some guides:

Please create a post for your response by clicking + and add your tutorial group number + group member's name (e.g. A1-Mathew Pryor, Kaia Li, Michelle Wong) as the Subject
