So honored to be featured in @NPR @TEDRadioHour to explore how to combat food waste: npr.org/2024/12/06/g-s1-3699… Did you know that the average American household throws away $200 of food each month? Canadian households are not far behind, wasting about $110 of food each month. The great food rescue explores how we can get more food onto plates and less into landfills by changing the food system, from the farm to your kitchen: npr.org/programs/ted-radio-h…

One behavioral scientist's way to bring joy to climate action
