In particular I liked seeing how the couple was able to subsist on food that was recycled or expired. It really shows what we are missing in our society.

Erin's Actions
Community
Watch a Documentary About Food
I will watch 3 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.
Community
Recycle More Organics
I will add organics recycling collection bins to all areas of the house where organics are generated, such as the bathroom.
Storage
Create an Eat First Area
I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.
Storage
Properly Store Food
I will store food and organize my fridge based on best practices to prevent food from spoiling before it is used.
Cooking
Save the Peels
When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.
Planning
Track My Wasted Food
I will keep notes on all the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn how what we're wasting, how much, and why it goes to waste.

Reflection QuestionCommunity Recycle More OrganicsWhat types of organic materials were you missing before you added more organics bins around your house?
