Challenge complete!
Great job
Join us in taking an in-depth look at what happens to the food we buy. Take practical actions to prevent food from going to waste and make the most of your resources.
Did you know that about 40% of food is wasted somewhere along the supply chain? That’s like stepping out of a grocery store with five bags of food and dropping two in the parking lot. You may not think you waste that much food at home, but the little bits here and there add up.
The Stop Food Waste Challenge will help you notice when you are wasting food, connect you with resources to help you reduce it, and provide support and motivation along the way.
Remember that developing new habits is a gradual process. Start by browsing the actions within each category and select actions that make sense for you and your household. In this challenge, you can select up to five daily actions and five one-time actions.

September 1 at 9:15 AMI learned to look in my fridge, know what's there, plan to use the oldest "fresh" stuff first, to buy more consciously to avoid over-buying, to freeze what I can't get to, to re-use parts (rinds, juice, etc.) for other things... so much to think about~

September 1 at 9:13 AMThis has been a great exercise for me to think more consciously about food. Thanks!!! I have been changing my ways, and I will continue to think about this, notice what I do, plan, etc. Very worthwhile exercise. I'm so glad I did it!

August 31 at 10:08 PMI have always tried to be mindful of not wasting food. I grew up in a family of eight with a tight budget, so I learned how to appreciate what we grew in our garden and later ate together. However, this challenge has helped me to renew my commitment to follow these practices more closely now. Thank you.
