Composting
Producing food that goes uneaten squanders many resources—seeds, water, energy, land, fertilizer, hours of labor, financial capital. Which of these kinds of waste most motivates you to change your behavior regarding food waste? Why?
I personally have been composting in my back yard for about a decade. I've also helped my friend, Carlos start a community composting area 2 blocks from my house. For me the most important part about composting is that makes use of a valuable resource, instead of having that resources by thrown away. By throwing it away you not only waste it, but also need to transport it which doubly uses fossil fuels.
