Keep all food waste out of the garbage
In addition to using up my edible food, I will keep any extra scraps out of the trash by separating them for backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.

ZIRAN NGO 7/15/2025 3:02 PMDid you know 38% of food in the U.S. went unsold or uneaten in 2023?
That’s 80 million tons wasted—while 1 in 7 Americans struggles with hunger. Food waste isn’t just a social issue; it’s an environmental one too. Wasted food means wasted water, energy, and resources, and it creates harmful greenhouse gases.
