As we head into the new year and many of us stock up on fruits and veggies to support healthy-eating resolutions, we should all take a few minutes to think about reducing food waste.
Even though roughly 1 out of every 8 Americans faces food insecurity, almost 40% of food in the U.S. doesn’t get eaten. This means families spend hard-earned money, time, and energy buying more food than they need to. And at a time when climate change threatens us all, it’s crucial to minimize greenhouse gas emissions any way we can — including by limiting methane pollution emitted by unused food rotting in landfills.
No one plans to throw food away, but it can be tough to avoid. Take this quiz to review the problems around food waste and learn how to make progress on your new resolution, whether it’s to save money, make the most of healthy food, or live in a more climate-friendly way.
