In this episode of Heart & Hustle, we sit down with Tony Staubach, Food Waste Diversion Coordinator for Hamilton County ReSource, to rethink how we view food. Tony shares how simple habits like meal planning and shopping with intention can keep food out of the landfill and money in your pocket. With organic waste accounting for roughly 15% of our local landfill and the average family of four throwing away around $1,600 in food, the stakes are higher than most people realize. The good news? Cutting food waste is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to reduce our environmental footprint while making a real difference at home.
