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

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

I will try root-to-leaf recipes, which utilize all parts of the vegetable, such as beet greens, carrot tops, and herb stems.

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

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 4 meals.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 2 preservation techniques.

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

I will track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.
