Dealing with Waste
Description
"Leftover Food" by Sally Morgan explains why food is thrown away and examines the environmental impact of food waste. The book describes how stores and households can recycle food through composting, use it as animal feed, or convert it into biofuels. It also covers how compost sites work and what happens to food after its sell-by date.
