  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Composting
    Producing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?

    I see the food go to waste after we eat some of it and then leave it in the fridge and then my dad dumps it, and the use of smaller portions and a compost bin has helped my family benefit crucially. We are throwing out the compost in the compost bin at least every 3 days.
