Food Waste
Did all of the food you purchased on your last shopping trip end up being consumed? Chances are, probably not. Over 40% of the food produced in America isn’t eaten. Natural resources are used to grow, harvest and package food, and energy must be used to deliver those products to consumers. Every time food is throw away, we are wasting money and natural resources.
