Hit 500 pounds of food waste diverted from landfills this month
I started composting in my backyard about 8 months ago, and I finally hit 500 pounds of scraps turned into soil. I weigh everything because my neighbor told me it helps track savings on fertilizer. I just didn't expect the number to be that high from just two people cooking at home. Has anyone else tracked their waste reduction and been surprised by the actual totals?

Yeah, it sneaks up on you quick. I started weighing mine out of curiosity and my jaw dropped when I hit 400 pounds in six months from just me and my roommate. Makes you realize how much of what we buy ends up in the trash without even thinking.
