Single serving plastics being kept out of the system is my goal. Also less micro-plastic in my body, and in wildlife.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Weekly Meal PlanningAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
rachael ventura 4/07/2020 5:10 PMDoes not surprise me unfortunately. Many people are not aware of best storage practices, and can't/don't always utilize freezing options to save food. Not to mention the sheer amounts of "regular-sized" restaurant servings that go to waste.
I would rather use that $ for vacation or home improvements.
