Letters, partners & community work

Trying to change the rules.

It turns out you can write letters to your congresswoman even if you're 11! I'm writing to a bunch of people (my U.S. Representative, the Texas Department of Agriculture, food pantries, and more) asking them to please fix the confusing date labels on food. This stuff is slow. I'm being patient.

"When I switched from 'sell the gadget' to 'teach the families,' something cool happened. The families I worked with cut their food waste by about 25%. That's real food. On real plates. For real people."
