Last night we were hanging out with some very good friends of ours, Justin and Jen, and they introduced us to a site call The Story of Stuff. After a lengthy and indepth discussion about this we decided to do a 30 day challenge together in the form of a family vs. family compition to see who can produce the least waste. Basically how this will work is each week we will weigh how much trash we have produced with a hay scale. In the mean time we will be visiting the local dump location for some good old dumpster diving to recover some useful things that others have thrown into the trash. We will collect these item throughout the 30 days and at the end have a yardsale and the family that produces the least amount of waste will get the cash from the yardsale. So stayed tuned, both Justin and I will be posting our families experience during this time.
