Flash back to 70s or 80s kitchen décor. What do you see? Perhaps an intricate linoleum floor pattern (lino is very eco-friendly, by the way, made from a combo of linseed oil, flax, jute, cork powder, wood flour, and natural pigments) or maybe an in-sink garburator (aka garbage disposal).

January's Clean Bin Challenge is complete. Winners will be announced soon!
In January 2011, 8 families embarked on a Clean Bin Challenge, competing to produce the least amount of waste for their household in a month.
The group had their bins on display this past weekend at the Sustainable Building and Living Conference, but you will have another chance to see how they did at the Spirit of Kimberley Showcase on February 10.
