Kathryn: When the kids were younger, Rosie did a stint as lunch volunteer

at the local elementary school. She still talks about it: “The WASTE! You

can’t IMAGINE!! Whole trays of food thrown out–the kids barely touch it!

Cartons of milk, unopened, thrown out. We threw out more than they ate…”

It made a powerful impression on Rosie. (Who grew up in China, in a family

that generated one small shopping-bag’s worth of garbage per month.)
