Each year, in Canada and the US, we throw out the equivalent of 75 kg (165lbs) of food per person! From the resources to grow it, ship it, and produce it, to the greenhouse gasses released when it breaks down in landfills, food waste is a major problem. Fortunately, with some planning, we can really cut down on the food that ends up in the trash.

To successfully complete this step, do one of the following activities:
