I used to hate wasting food, and still avoid it, but for some time now, we've composted coffee grinds, most food scraps and a lot of left-overs, and it feels better letting go of things that are getting old in the fridge, knowing that stuff will give life to your vegetable garden each summer.

Bell pepper seeds and pith, old greens, and other things also go to our four chickens, who give us wonderful eggs, so all in all, the system is working.
