I wanted to significantly reduce and eventually eliminate all of my food waste. Its not as easy to accomplish as a single mother raising two children, grad school, and commuting 1 1/2 hours a day for work. I’m often exhausted, and some of the groceries I buy aren’t cooked/consumed and go to waste. I changed my shopping habits which has resulted in more frequent trips to the store, but it has reduced our food waste. My kids and I are trying to figure out the best way to put up a compost outside that won’t get disturbed by the already abundance of animals that come around. I continue to make progress and look forward to reaching a 100% no waste goal.
