How much do you waste?

Our world has a limited supply of food and agriculture, but many people in countries such as Canada and America don't realize this. Did you know that a new study found that 40% of our food is left uneaten! (more food than ever is being wasted). The average family throws out about $2,275 worth of food per year? Did you also know that children in the Sub-Sahara Africa live on less than $1 a day?! If you didn't waste all the food you bought, you could feed 50 children every months for almost two years?!
Food isn't the limit! We waste things such as paper and other tree products such as wood (which takes 17 trees to make one package that you buy for your printer), water, and many other things. We are taking advantage of our resources and need to stop. If we keep consuming so much, and then wasting it, our children and grandchildren will live to see a day that has very limited food, water and natural resources.
