Don’t let good food go bad

Here in Oregon, the average household throws away more than $2,900 worth of food every year. That’s money straight into the trash. Spoiled food doesn’t just hurt your wallet; it also wastes the resources used to grow, transport, and prepare it. More at dontletgoodfoodgobad.org.
