Reduce Food Waste

Wasting food also wastes water, energy, and resources. I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the Ecochallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation, and commit to reducing my food waste throughout the challenge.

An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money? What patterns did you notice in the food you threw away, and how can you address them?

Lately, the produce that is sold in local markets, organic and non, seem to be coming to the store already in aged condition. The shelf / refrigeration life seems to be less than half. At times, once purchased there is no time for storage, there is an immediate need to use. Store buyers, need to be vigilant about fresh produce as pricing are soaring, we cannot be at risk for molding or food that has already started to break down.
