Do you have a distaste for food waste? In today's episode, we chat with Mimi Chong, a user experience designer who dedicated a little over a year to reducing food waste at the Dallas chapter of Rescuing Leftover Cuisine. Although UX designers are not the primary workforce in sustainability, the green path is never a straight one; Mimi found a way to apply her design acumen with her conviction to reduce food waste and has devoted her efforts to transforming food management ever since. By her own admission, she is not a fearless woman. But it is her fears — of tackling a global problem, of overturning Asian and female bias  —  that assure her she is challenging herself and making a difference in the world. Tune in to hear about Mimi's experiences, and take another step along your Green Path!
