Less waste is the ultimate goal but I think composting as come a long way in the last couple of years. I’m finding more and more people are composting. Especially once finding out that our food waste doesn’t biodegrade in the landfills! It is easy and does so much to keep waste out of the landfills. I found this great composter that you don’t have to do anything with the only drawback is it is electric (and a bit expensive) – check it out: http://naturemill.com/plus.html

If the US started converting this wasted food into fuel, either by fermentation or by heating it up and converting the gases that come off into fuel chemically then energy independence would come a little closer.

I agree, and it’s really not so difficult once you get into the habit. I’ve had some very efficient weeks where I bake up lunches and dinners for M-Th. 🙂

Plan your meals each week – I know that might sound like a drag, but it makes a huge difference. You can save money *and* avoid waste that way.
