That's the name of the spreadsheet I created back in Febuary this year to record the amount of compostable stuff produced by our team. We are a team of 7 (one works part-time and one left this month so now 5.5 in total) and everyone of us eats fruit more or less on a daily basis. In the past those banana skins, apple stones, orange peels etc were thrown into the normal bins and were most certainly ended up in landfill sites. Starting from 1 Feb, I decided to bring them home, weigh the waste, record the figure and chuck them into my compost bin. I intend to use the data to convince our waste management team that more needs to/can be done to reduce green waste to be sent to landfill sites.
Since I started this project 7 months ago, I have brought home just over 30 kilograms of banana skins, orange peels etc. Considering we are just a small team, the amount of green waste that would otherwise have ended up in landfill sites is astonishing! I am hoping to have composting facilites set up at my workplace so I don't need to carry the waste on my bike everyday.
