    Today I didm't waste any food, I kept my portion a bit smaller because I usually throw out left over oatmeal but ate all of it today!

    I have to remind myself to compost and not throw out the foods into the garbage can. But, everyone can easily compost its such an easy thing to do.

    I didn't have any food waste for breakfast or lunch. But for dinner that was a little bit of onions left in my salad that I did not eat and put it into my compost bin.

    I started composting today! I composted in the fall time and stopped in the winter because I didn't want to walk to the garden on campus in the snow, but not a good excuse. I started up again and found a composting place that is closer and easier to get to.
