b. According to a 2012 report by the National Resources Defense Council (http://www.nrdc.org/food/ files/wasted-food-ip.pdf), the U.S. wastes 40% of our food each year. This includes losses at the farm, during processing and shipping, at the grocery store, and restaurants and homes. At the consumer level (at home and restaurants), the loss is estimated to be 0.3 kg per person per day (Buzby & Hyman, 2012). About 30% of the food waste, or about 0.1 kg per day (= 0.7 kg per week), are fruits and vegetables (Buzby & Hyman, 2012), which could be used in worm composting. Based on the estimate of 700 g (=0.7 kg) of food waste that could be fed to worms, how many worm bins would an average person need to compost all their potential worm food each week? Show your work
