New Zealand couple blog rubbish free challenge

Matthew and Waveney are a couple from Christchurch, New Zealand. They live with their dog and two chickens, and have just embarked on an ambitious project to go for an entire year without generating any household rubbish, and are blogging their rubbish free adventures here.

The blog makes fascinating reading, and is well worth checking in on from time to time. But the rest of the 'Rubbish free year' site is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to cut down on household waste, even if eliminating it entirely seems a tall order. In the Rubbish Free Guide you'll find answers to questions like how to recycle toothbrushes and which painkillers are most ecologically packaged, how to safely dispose of paint and some helpful tips on composting, burning and giving away unwanted food safely. I've added Matthew and Waveney's blog to my trusty RSS reader and can't wait to see how they get on!
