REFLECTION QUESTIONFood CompostingProducing 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 feel good about residing in a city that encourages and has programs available for composting and recycling. I joined this challenge to show support for my organization and to make my individual contributions.
