Commissioner Kevin Anderson used his communications time to highlight Food Waste Prevention Week and county events designed to reduce household food waste and support the county's climate action plan.
Anderson said about "40% of food is wasted in the U.S." and outlined activities this week, including cooking demonstrations at farmers markets, partnerships with restaurants to help customers use leftovers, and an interactive 'save food' display at libraries. He encouraged residents to join the 'Save Food Spend Less' challenge starting Oct. 1 to reduce waste and save money.
