University uses weights to scale back on food waste

James Madison University has decided to address the issue of food waste on it’s campus. They have started an annual program named Weigh the Waste. The event is a week long and students place food they were going to throw away on a scale in the dining hall. At the end of the week the school added up the amounts and there was a whopping 817 pounds of food being thrown away in just one week.
