Started setting up the code repo on Github (https://github.com/jdarling/lesswaste) today. A lot of work to do, but after about a month of thinking about things I think I have the initial plan worked out in my head.

I think I'm going to model the game part of this from traditional resource collection type games where you will produce resources for each week that you recycle stuff. Trash weight is taken as consumption of resources along with some other general information. Still a lot of grey to work out, but my initial though is something like the carbon footprint as the scale itself.

More as I work it out, on the good news side of things, the Pi works perfectly and I've got it all setup to actually run the software.
