I use a compost service and it’s really changed how I eat and what I buy. There’s a bunch of industrially compostable packaging so if you find a sustainable business, you can have the products you want without producing the associated waste.
Meal planning is also important since you can spend a ton on food that won’t get entirely eaten, which can turn into a financial and food waste cycle in itself.
Nice, practical tips to get started. Doing it imperfectly is still better than not at all.
Oh. NYC was so great w composting. I have one place here in Santa Fe that’s a farm that does industrial composting. I think a lot of people don’t realize that used tissues and napkins can go in also. I’m there at least twice a week. Hope yr well!
Oh I always do odd chili myself! Spaghetti sauce too. Take whatever on the verge of going and make a batch of chili or sauce. Freeze any extra. What shocked me most (besides the amount of food wasted) is that food doesn’t compost in its own in a landfill - it releases methane. Such a simple way to help w climate change!

Thank you for this important reminder--especially this time of year!
