Can an average person really create zero waste?
The challenge was set during March 2008, and one mother gave it a go, managing to only throw away one plaster!
It’s easy and you may save money too! Slim your bin and try your own rubbish diet…find out more here….

The Rubbish Diet is written by Karen Cannard, a housewife and now freelance writer, based in Bury. The blog was only intended to last for just 8 weeks, to chart Karen’s attempts at slimming down her bin for Zero Waste Week in March 2008. However, having realised the importance of the issue she went on to inspire many others. As a result, Karen’s work was shortlisted in the 2009 Media Guardian Awards for Innovation, in the Independent Media category and was also a finalist in the CIWM awards for Environmental Excellence in the category of Recycling Champion. So if you want to talk rubbish with Karen, aka Almost Mrs Average, please get in touch by email at karen[at]therubbishdiet[dot]co[dot]uk. More information about what Karen gets up to is also available at www.karencannard.co.uk.

Three years ago Wales produced twenty five million tonnes of waste. From the seven million tonnes handled by our waste facilities in Wales in 2007, around half of the waste, went to landfill sites. These landfills have eight years of space remaining, which because of the way we live our life will never be enough. And it is not good for our environment.

We need to review what we do with our rubbish and recycling is part of the answer. Trying to reuse it before we bin it is a sensible option.

Val Hunt is an artist who is actioning this plan.

She uses recyclable manufactured materials such foil, take-away containers, computer parts and especially metal from drink cans. Much of her inspiration comes from natural forms. Patterns, colours and logos often appear on the finished, expertly crafted objects.

The Alchemist’s Garden is an inspiring, exciting new exhibition full of exotic plants, birds, pond life and wildlife all constructed from throw away material.

This exhibition unites two of Val Hunt’s touring exhibitions: Reincarnated Rubbish and the Alchemist’s Garden in one. Reincarnated Rubbish is Val Hunt’s touring solo exhibition.

’Reincarnated Rubbish’ and ’The Alchemist’s Garden’ are full of witty, humorous, imaginative and thought provoking constructions which will wet the appetite and encourage everyone to experience the fun of creative recycling.

Her exhibition runs from 7th September until 7th October 2009 at the Washington Gallery in Penarth and is worth a visit.

If you didn’t know already, rubbish is becoming a huge problem in the world! If you don’t believe me then listen to this story:

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, there is an area that is twice the size of the USA. This area is completely made up of plastic waste; it is almost like an Island that you can walk on. Bizzare isn’t it?! The plastic all stays together because of the vicious, circling currents.

Now wouldn’t you like to dispose of your rubbish the more ‘conventional’ way. Well we can help you. Simply log onto www.bookaskip.co.uk. All you need to know is your postcode, the size and the type of your skip and the dates you require it for. It is that simple!

None of this Plastic Island in the middle of the Ocean business!!!
