   You guys vegetarian, vegan or freegan, have you ever thought about becoming one, and why or why not?

   @Rik Boland: We share both values in our home and we do discuss this marginally on the site here. However, MyZeroWaste is mainly to do with reducing waste and we don’t want to complicate matters by getting tangled or distracted by other important issues.

   Hi all, What do you do with your food / kitchen waste. I compost my using a specially designed product that compost all food waste including meat. It is not a worm farm. With this product, I have stopped disposing my kitchen waste into bin for the last 3 years.

   @David: Hi David, good to see you - thank you for your comment. Are you talking about a bokashi bin or one of the food digesters that go in the garden - like the Green cone? It’s great you are managing to keep food out of the landfill as it is causing problems from the environment.
   I look forward to hearing more about the product you are using

   G’day Mr: and Mrs: G,
   I have a query re recycling bones. Some bones are hard, and some are Very hard. Is it a good idea to dispose of these things in other way apart from a compost bin. (Surely composting these items would take a century of time compared to fruit and vegie wastes). If yes, what other ways? Thanks, Jack.

   @Jack: Hi Jack, can you tell us, specifically what sort of bones you are looking to compost?

   We’ve been recycling now for over 20 yrs - it becomes part of the norm, but we have relied heavily on visits to waste disposal depots as the council still doesn’t collect cardboard etc. Our wheelie bin is almost empty and it is over 2 weeks since our last pick up, but I do feel sorry for those folk who do not have access to the depot/don’t drive/don’t own a vehicle. The local council are getting there; this year they introduced brown bins for garden waste, but this does not include raw kitchen waste and its difficult to keep a compost bin in a small second floor flat. Sometimes recycling can be challenging. Even if they wanted to keep their landfill down, they could not and they’re bins are overflowing as we speak - next pick up 7th Jan!

   @Pam Bishop: Hello Pam, thanks for leaving your comment. Like you, recycling is now part of our normal lifestyle. It *is* very challenging for people who do not have access to recycling facilities; we are lucky in that we can incorporate a visit to the recycling along with our other errands. But to live in a flat without many kerbside pickups must be very difficult. Councils need to help these people out more.
