Final Weigh ins for the Challenge...we will keep this up!
Submitted by Ludwig Household on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 6:44pm
We have made progress! We purchased a composting bin (that has yet to be put together) and we still reduced our waste! We have however, been keeping a bucket of compostable items in our freezer. This has kept them out of our garbage :) This has been a great challenge, we have learned lots and will continue moving forward to encourage others to reduce their waste. Thank you Waukesha County Recycling for this opportunity to prove to you and ourselves that our future can be less - which is a great thing.
Less IS More
Ludwigs,
Thank you for doing the Challenge! We certainly agree, Less IS more...when it comes to our waste!

Reduced waste by almost one-third!
Love your enthusiasm for the Challenge! Many families find that it makes interesting discussions with family, friends, and neighbors. I'll bet you never thought you would be freezing garbage:) Now that the leaves are falling, this is the perfect time to get your compost bin set up and free up some freezer space. You can continue to put your veggie scraps in the compost bin throughout the fall and winter. Keep putting leaves or other brown material on top and mixing it in until it freezes solid. Then in the spring, as soon as the weather warms up, you can mix the food scraps into the leaves again.
Thanks for your efforts!
