I will freeze leftover food items or meals for later. The freezer is my food-waste-reduction friend!

I will put carrots and celery in jars filled with water to keep them fresh, crisp, and easy to grab for up to a week. I will properly store 2 veggie snacks.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 1 preservation techniques.

To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 1 packs of berries.

will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

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 follow 1 food waste prevention bloggers and influencers to get continuous tips and reminders that I can add to my lifestyle to waste less food.
