    I have started taking the time to research and store foods for longer life.

    Did you know that not all food labeling means the same thing? How have you changed your habits to decide if food is still safe to eat?

    I have always used sight and smell as indicators.

    How has your awareness of the food you waste changed since you started separating it from other trash? Did anything surprise you?

    I add more to garbage disposal. I freeze more fruit for smoothies. I do more stir fry with veges.
