How often do you throw out or waste food or materials when you don’t have to?

Our family is very good at conserving resources, we are excellent in not wasting food. My dad and mom cause they are so stingy and poverty conditioned and me because I want to save what I have so I can expand my purchasing power.

I try not to especially with plastic. Plastic and paper like junk mail I put it for recycling, and plastic bags I take it to the store drop off for recycleing. If it’s food I’ll eat it or food scraps I’ll run it down down the garbage disposal.

I think about the environmental impact of food waste like methane, plastic never really goes away just gets smaller and smaller turning into micro plastics. It gets in our drinking water and seafood.

We have chickens that are like little food disposals. Scraps go to them.

Not very often. I hate wasting food because I know some people don't have then option on where or not they eat that night. If I have an abundance or something for some reason I would share with friends and coworkers

It's rare that I do. It helps if you don't buy too much perishable stuff at one time.
