Waste is something we all deal with on a daily basis, and one which needs handling with a great deal of care if we are to prevent our beautiful planet getting destroyed. Last week, I took the Little Postcards to the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, and one of the exhibits there is dedicated to waste – how timely for this week’s photo challenge.

The boys loved the hands-on exhibits showing the state of landfill waste dumps over the centuries, in other words, before the 20th century, very little waste was  buried and that was biodegradable. 

It proved a very valuable lesson for us all.

On a lighter note, how about a more cheerful bit of waste? How satisfying to see all the little bits of yarn when you finish darning in all the endy bits :-).

I’m joining with Nana Cathy and Wild Daffodil for this weekly photo challenge throughout 2017.
