Buying organic is good, but it's still not as good as simply not throwing away 122 pounds of food a month. I'm trying to do better. I should freeze more leftovers.

WOW. I try to be very concious about what we purchase and use things that are immediately perishable first and things that are less likely to go bad (like sweet potatoes) later in the week. I would love for there to be markets in every town at least every other day of the week. Small markets, local farmers, carry locally produced goods so that I could walk to it and do a little light marketing every couple of days in order to prepare my meals. Such as I would if I were in Europe. This is something I will definately be sharing with family and friends. Holy $#@%! is right! WOW.
