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.
