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 create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 2.

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

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 5 packs of berries.

I will learn about the foods that grow locally and try gleaning or foraging.

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 talk to 2 family members or friends about my experience with this challenge, food waste, and what I have learned.

I will track the food that my household of 5 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.
