What if someone told you to take $2,200 in cash and flush it down the toilet…or better yet, chop it up, boil it, and then throw it out in your green bin? And then to do that again once a year, every year. Would you do it? Probably not – it seems crazy. It seems wasteful. The crazy thing is actually that $2,200 is how much the average American family of four loses in wasted food each year, according to American Wasteland author Jonathan Bloom. Waste adds up!
