How you can cut down on food waste

Monday’s grilled chicken. Last night’s takeout. That head of romaine in the crisper.

Most of us are not truly aware how much food we throw away every week. From uneaten leftovers, to the produce that too often rots in the veggie drawer. It all adds up.

According to ReFED, 40% of food that we bring home ends up uneaten and in landfills. And that costs a family of four more than $1,500 per year (Just think what you could do with that money!).

Not to mention, food waste accounts for 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
