Good idea: dumpster diving

According to a report by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the United States throws away a staggering 40% of the food it produces every year. There are a number of reasons for this: restaurants and bakeries that throw away what’s left uneaten or isn’t sold; people who buy more groceries than they can use; and food distributors who throw out whole pallets when things go bad in transit. But one of the major culprits of food waste is supermarkets.

While this waste is a tremendous problem, especially when we live in a country (and a world) with widespread starvation, it also means that perfectly good food fills supermarket dumpsters every day. With a little bit of effort, you can make sure at least some of that waste goes to use and save yourself a lot of money in the process.
