Hi. Where did you get the impression that my point was that I saved the food from wasting? You may not know my history to understand the foundation of this of this offshoot post - where my main point was to help people not throw out cards with balances. Have you seen my blog posts spanning 3.5 years where I've shown examples of saving countless items from my city's curb recycling? You can see the tip of the iceberg of several thousands of items (and pounds) hand-saved, sold, gifted, donated, or kept.
