    10 Ways to Save Food (and Money!)

    What's in your trash? A few moldy apples, half a can of spoiled tomato paste, limp veggies, Saturday's leftovers?

It's bad enough that discarded items take up space in landfills. But rotting food also releases methane, a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. The good news: We can reduce food waste. Here, learn how to shop and eat a little smarter.
