Hikma Adam

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

I will create a cookbook or recipe collection of go-to meals for my household to make meal planning easier.

I will share information about food waste and the actions that I am taking on social media.

Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.

When I restock my fridge or pantry, I will put new items in the back and bring older items to the front to be used first.

When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

I will volunteer 2 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.
