EPISODE SUMMARY
The kitchen is the heart of every home, regardless of size or design. Think back to gatherings you've hosted or attended; doesn't the party always migrate to the kitchen? The reason is that the kitchen is the heart of the home. It is the place we go to be nourished. But is our kitchen reflecting the type of heart we want to spread to the world?
Consider these facts:
- The home kitchen is the largest producer of food waste at 43%. This is more than restaurants (40%), farms (12%), and food manufacturers (2%).
- Each home refrigerator generates 100 pounds of food waste each year.
- 27% of homes have more than one kitchen, doubling, if not tripling, the amount of food waste generated.
In this episode, Florencia discusses why refrigerator organization is essential to reduce kitchen food waste. I offer some action tips or guiding principles that work for me (after many failed attempts and refrigerator organization) to help you streamline your refrigerator starting now.
The following refrigerator ad in the podcast sets us on the path of food waste.
