    I could refuse to drive so often and opt to wither walk or take public transportation. Makes me feel better because I am deceasing my carbon foot print when I do so

    Food Keep Track of Wasted Food
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?
