Why does nobody talk about reducing your food waste saving as much as solar panels?
I finally crunched the numbers on my own kitchen waste after my neighbor bragged about his new solar setup saving him $80 a month. Turns out I was throwing away about 35 pounds of food every month, which added up to nearly $120 a month in groceries I just tossed. When I started meal planning and using every scrap, like making broth from veggie peels and freezing leftovers, my grocery bill dropped by $90. That's more than his solar panels save him, and it cost me zero dollars to start. I didn't need any fancy tech or a big upfront investment, just a little planning and a compost bin for the rest. It feels like this is a huge win that nobody pushes in climate conversations. Has anyone else checked their own food waste numbers and been surprised at the savings?
