Jacob Sanchez 4/02/2018 10:13 AMGoing to try and track my wasted food. I've always wanted to do this and see if it would make sense to start composting. Might be a harder challenge getting my roommates on board! I also want to explore carbon offset credits as I have 4 plane trips in the next month alone.
