Olivia Cashman

I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

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

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden at my home or community garden.

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.

I will set a timer to keep me on track with kitchen tasks and cooking and baking times so that I don't ruin food.

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.

I will ask for half-portions options or share an entrée when eating out to minimize food waste.

I will talk to 3 family members or friends about my experience with this challenge, food waste, and what I have learned.
