For shits and giggles I decided to track the books I read this year. (Partially inspired by Pres Obama’s annual list). I think Goodreads is toxic, so I just kept it on a google doc. I actually read much non-fiction than I was expecting. And of course, this is NO WAY amounts to how much I read on AO3.....

If the food's not getting eaten... it's not a good use of our resources.
- Dana Gunders, NRDC scientist, quoted in this CBS News piece reporting that an estimated 30 to 50 percent of the food produced globally goes to waste.
One way to reduce food waste is cook your own meals and cook those that you know well, which makes it easier to judge how much you need. For more tips on reducing waste around your home, see this Smarter Living article.
