Day one of zero waste month
Oh dear. The first day of my experiment and I have already come across my first hurdle. I am going to try to avoid making any waste that would end up in a landfill site for one month.That means that I will have to go without anything I can’t recycle or compost. It can’t be that hard, can it?
That’s what I thought until it was pointed out at lunch that you can’t compost chicken bones.
If you know what to do with them, please let me know.
You can follow me throughout the month on this blog. At the end of August I will let you know whether I think it is possible to live a zero waste month, a zero waste year or a zero waste life. At the moment it looks like a zero waste day would be an achievement.

you can make chicken bone jewelery to send to your vegetarian brother ...
boil them up to make soup. Simmer lengthily ( with veg etc); if you then bash them down with a hammmer or similar they should be much easier to break up into such small pieces that you might try a liquidiser then and then you can put on compost heap ( you've heard of bone-meal which is very good for gardens
I think what you're doing is brilliant! Though I don't think I could do it!
Apparently according to an ex-environmental officer for Ealing Council you can put them in a composter. Do you have one?
