For a culture that values stewardship and sustainability, Americans are surprisingly wasteful when it comes to the kitchen. As much as forty percent of the nation’s food supply ends up in landfills. Here where I live in Fort Collins, food waste—much of which is whole and unconsumed—makes up about a quarter of our trash bags. 

If you’re in New York City or planning a trip before the end of April 2024, I encourage you to head to Soho to check out the Climate Museum located at 105 Wooster Street. The museum, founded five years ago, has curated exhibits and programs specifically about climate change in several pop-up locations in the city.
