Question

How do I calculate the waste generated at home?

Answer 1

Get a giant scale and weigh it.

Answer 2

I guess that depends on what you want to measure...

Look at all the groceries you buy weekly, all of it comes in packaging, all of that packaging will be thrown out once the product is used.  Save your receipts, they help tell the tale...

They don't call our society a consumer society for nothing, we consume, then we throw away...
