I love your site. Keep it up !
Hi Krystal.
I just found your blog and have enjoyed reading about your project. You might be interested in having a browse around our site sometime. We’re in the UK, and since June of last year have been reducing our household waste. We now throw away less than 100gms per week and are aiming to manage for 1 year without needing to put our bin out.
I’m adding you to my Rss so I can keep up with your latest news.
Best of luck!

Hi Krystal-
Great job with the closed-loop experiment! It’s really hard to do
You might be interested in this set of blog posts running over six months by some of my colleagues at frog design, in various frog studios around the world. It was a similar closed-loop experiment, started by Ashley Menger in our Austin, Texas studio, back in May 2007. Each person would do it for two weeks, blog about it, and then the baton would be passed to another person/studio.

Keep up the good work!

Mrs Green >> Thanks! Your site “My Zero Waste” is really inspiring also. I added it to the “Closed Loop”s Links page and will definitely be checking back.
Adam >> It is really motivating isn’t it (living without trash)? I think its so fantastic that companies like Frog design are doing side projects like this. Did anyone choose to keep going longer than two weeks? I would be interested in knowing. Thanks for the feedback!
