Food Waste

By Deborah Chancellor

Book Overview

Americans throw away about 96 billion pounds of food waste each year, and much of what qualifies as food waste is actually just what we don't get around to eating. Staggering amounts of what could be used to feed the impoverished is instead rotting and producing harmful gases. This thoughtful book engagingly instructs readers on how to become conscientious food consumers and future environmentalists.
