Reducing food waste to save money

Food inflation in Canada dropped in October, the first drop since October of 2021. But at 10.1%, it's still going to cost you more to fill the cupboard and fridge. And during waste reduction week, Halifax Regional Municipality is trying to educate us on food waste. According to Statistics Canada, 63% of the food Canadians throw away could have been eaten. That's about 140 kilograms of food worth around $1,300. And processing and dealing with 53,000 tonnes of green bin materials, costs tax payers a lot of money. Kirk Symonds is the Team Lead for HRM's solid waste department and is chatting about the awareness campaign, "Food Isn't Garbage".
