Organic Waste Management Starts With
Reduction
The familiar phrase “reduce, reuse, recycle” reflects the preferred order of waste
management. When it comes to food waste, producing food requires substantial
amounts of water, energy and money before it ever reaches the refrigerator.
Reducing and reusing food before it ends up in the organics cart can help conserve
resources. Residents can find tips for reducing and reusing food waste at home by
visiting the Stop Food Waste website.

How to Reduce Microplastics in Your Kitchen
Plastic cutting boards can release tiny plastic fragments, known as microplastics, into
food during routine chopping and slicing, according to a recent article by the
Environmental Working Group. Wear and tear from repeated use increases the
amount released.
In one study, researchers found that cutting carrots on plastic boards released
thousands of microplastic particles per use, which could accumulate over time.
Microplastics have been detected in human tissues, raising concerns among scientists
about potential health effects.
To reduce exposure, experts recommend switching to non-plastic cutting boards
made of wood, bamboo, glass or marble. Other steps include limiting the use of
plastic kitchen tools, heating food in glass containers instead of plastic, filtering
drinking water, and regularly cleaning kitchen surfaces to reduce plastic dust.
