Attempting to live a whole month without contributing any waste to a landfill site.
I have been asked what happened to the chicken bones.
I’m afraid I have a confession to make. I left the bones in the canteen.
In my defence, this was before I got comments back saying I could compost chicken, if I boil it and mash it first.
To undo my badness I’m now in search of three chicken bones to make into compost. I’ve got a tip off that there are a lot of bones on the road round Tooting Bec station.

I have never recycled before in my life. Apparently you can get prosecuted for this (please send me the proof if you can find it). Until a month ago I used to throw my paper in my waste bin instead of the recylcing bin 2 metres away. So now I'm going for the extreme - lets not make any landfill waste at all. I'm not enthused about being reasonable about this. It's all or nothing.

you can hardly give up at first hurdle! what did you do with the chewing gum wrappers?
where do you stand on just keeping all your rubbish and burning it? (assuming no toxic smoke) ... maybe in a Oil drum in the middle of your living room, thus saving on your heating bill - and never having friends round again ...
what about all the other wrappings? you can't have lived on 3 chicken legs several pints of beer and chewing gum for three days can you?
tullyshammer,
I am recycling and will start a compost bin. That means I can still eat a lot of stuff (just as long as I eat it all).
So far I've been eating things like pizza from the canteen. But now I'm starting to think that I really won't be able to eat anything from a restaurant as I don't know what they do with their rubbish.
Death by vegetables,
As I am aiming to avoid the landfill site only, burning is a viable option.
This is useful, as I have persuaded myself that toilet roll is OK as I’ve been told that toilet roll is burnt. I’m still investigating whether this is true.
I think the investigation will take about 30 days.
