A challenge to waste less and help more



The article linked here discusses the inevitable food waste produced by the average person. If you're anything like my family you are above average at food waste. I don't know how many countless half eaten bananas, yogurt left out on the counter or cereal spilled on the floor gets wasted at the Casa de Cupitt. With two youg 'uns around the house, Beth and I often joke we should come home from the grocery store, line the kids up in the kitchen and just arbitrarily start throwing full grocery bags away. Of course this is an exaggeration but we still get a good laugh. The truth is the adults around the house can learn a few things from this article. I challenge Roots blog readers to join me in conserving food and donating the difference.

As far as the article, I can get into the freezing, planning ahead and certainly the composting, but you won't catch me with a old jack-o-lantern and egg white mask on my face.

Post your challenge successes and failures here and share with all of us!
