Reply #3: You do realize that there are like 8 and a half million people here, right? [View All]

Which means that daily we waste something like 3% of a pound per person - that's really not very much.

Also, I have to question this stunt, although I think it raises good points - wouldn't filling a subway car with thousands of apples be pretty wasteful in itself? Not to mention the mess cleaning it up.

Also, I waste a LOT less since moving here because I have to make more frequent smaller trips to the store, and I can't afford to throw money away on much wasted food.

All of that said, I do think this group's heart is in the right place, but... I don't know that it's any more wasteful than elsewhere in the nation, and perhaps less so per capita.
