Hit 100 days of no food waste in my apartment and it changed how I see every single grocery run
I started tracking my food waste last spring after reading that the average American throws out almost 220 pounds of food a year. Last Tuesday I hit day 100 with nothing in the trash and honestly I was shocked it was possible in a 400 square foot place with no real freezer space. The big trick for me was just shopping twice a week at the corner store instead of doing one huge haul on Sundays. What got you started cutting food waste, and what was the first thing that actually stuck for you?

What about the stuff you can't eat though, like peels and coffee grounds? That's the part nobody talks about when they brag about zero waste. You can compost that even in a tiny place with a worm bin or a countertop setup, and then you're actually keeping it out of the landfill instead of just the trash can.
