Fighting Food Waste With The iPhone of Trash Cans
Description
How much food do you throw away every week? And do you have to?
That's today's big question, and my guest is Matt Rogers.
Matt is a former Apple iPod and iPhone engineer. The Co-Founder of Nest thermostats, Founder of incite.org, and former Chairman of Carbon180. He is now the Co-Founder and CEO of Mill.
What's Mill? It's a membership to a food-shrinking, de-stinking kitchen bin, and it just may be one of the most important levers you and I can take to fight food waste and climate change.
I'm a huge fan of Matt's multidisciplinary work to drive systems change across tech, non-profits, and politics.
Mill may be his most direct take on it yet.
