Quick waste update: We can't be trusted

I could probably spell "shame" with the veggies we've neglected lately.



It was with great dismay that I discovered these two formerly crisp and nutritious little carrots, flaccid and defeated in the crisper. And here's a week-old picture of some lettuce from two weeks ago.



What sad excuses for stewards of the earth we've turned out to be. We do much, much worse things than waste a couple ounces of veggies. But we don't feel that bad about the driving we do each week. We don't feel that bad if we're too lazy to rinse gross empty cat-food cans for recycling. Wasting CSA veggies really gets to us. And in that way it's probably making us better people. That or whiny pseudo-ascetic progressives.
