Americans waste approximately 108 billion pounds of food each year! All that lost food costs us money, time, resources like water and fertilizers to grow the food—plus all the emissions from producing, transporting and landfilling that wasted food.

In this episode, we share ideas about purchasing, storing, using and remembering to use the food we bring into our kitchens.
