The Bite:

Wanna scale back on your food waste this holiday? Go on a trash diet - just follow a few easy waste-reducing tips. Mind this portion...

The Benefits:

  • Less waste. Every year, we waste 28 billion pounds of food - or about 100 pounds per person - between Thanksgiving and New Years.
  • Food left to rot in landfills gives off methane, a gas at least 20 times as powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide (translation: You'll contribute less to global warming).
  • You won't have to loosen your belt or your purse strings, since these tricks could save you money (we throw away $42 billion worth of food during the holidays each year).
