Earlier this summer, I read an article in the Strib about wasted food. According to the story, 50% of all food produced and purchased in the US is thrown away. That is a sad fact and has made me think a little bit more about what I buy. I'm trying harder to use up the food I do have in my fridge and freezer before heading to the grocery store. Not only is food thrown away, but it is not composted and creates methane gas when it's stuck in plastic garbage bags. I finally took time to check out the website Wasted Food. There is a LOT of information there. Take a look and see what you can do to waste less. Every little bit helps. Spread the word.
