I love watching episodes like this because I like to see how deep we can go with sustainable resources. It's also very frustrating to me personally because I have very limited means, as I am disabled and my budget is stymied by how expensive my treatments are and how much I can actually physically do myself. We don't even have basic recycling at my complex and I can't personally travel and haul recycling. My bare minimum is that I have all LED and CFC light bulbs. I no longer drive and don't keep a car, but by default all of my rides are shared rides. What I wish is that someone would feature a show on how disabled folks make all of this work, and do it on a budget while also taking care of major medical issues. I think that would be a real stunner. Also, Arizona (Tucson and Phoenix, and sometimes other stops in other cities) have produce rescue through the organization Borderlands Produce Rescue (nickname P. O. W. W. O. W.). We get about 70 lbs. Of produce for around $15 USD (as of today's date). This is open to anyone who pays this fee, you don't need to show proof of being on any type of program to receive a crate. If the fruits and veggies are past being fresh when they are rescued, they are donated to area livestock farms. This program has grown exponentially from what it used to be, when we used to stand in line and paid $10 USD for a few tomatoes and spaghetti squash, about 15 years ago. It's close to the setup that OZHarvest featured in this episode has, but everyone has to prepare their own veggies and fruits rather than have meals prepped for them.
