Keep Track of Wasted Food

I will keep a daily log of food I throw away during the EcoChallenge, either because it went bad before I ate it, I put too much on my plate, or it was scraps from food preparation.
Transport
Test Drive an Electric Bike

I will test drive an electric bike at a local distributor to see if it makes sense to use one in place of my car, or to extend the area I can cover by bike.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Keep Track of Wasted FoodAn 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?
Elisa Welch 3/06/2019 10:47 AMI would like to put it towards either starting a composting program in my neighborhood, or put it towards increasing self-sufficiency by putting it towards a garden, chickens, fruit trees, etc.
