Like everyone else I swore over the vast amount of garbage produced by my household every day, that has to be hauled to the local recycling station (in Sweden). I begun to wonder how much a family in Sweden, me and my two kids, throw away each year. A full year later, I had the answer. 127 kg paper 117 kg nonrecycleable garbage 106 kg food waste (for the compost) 50 kg glass 50 kg plastic 23 kg electronics+batteries The western way of life is not sustainable, that´s for sure...
