A Century of Kitchen Waste Interactive Website

In the last 100 years, our kitchens have changed from having just one appliance, the coal and/or wood stove, to having numerous appliances that run on electricity or natural gas. The type and the amount of waste produced in each household kitchen have also changed. A Century of Kitchen Waste is an interactive website that compares how we manage kitchen waste today to how it was managed in 1905.
