Why your food scraps travel more than 100 miles — and how an L.A. council member wants to stop it

In Los Angeles, food scraps often travel a significant distance. Council member Bob Blumenfield is addressing this issue. He wants to keep food waste local, rather than having it travel far.

This includes items like old banana peels and moldy bread. Further details on this initiative are available from the Los Angeles Times, which has more information on the council member's plans to reduce the distance food scraps travel in the city.
