It’s estimated that the typical American family wastes $1,800 worth of food each year due to food waste. This is equivalent to throwing away 40% of the food they’ve purchased. Due to the energy and resources, it takes to grow, harvest, process, and export food, you can imagine what a huge waste this is. On top of that, this food ends up decomposing in landfills, which produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
