"To continue my efforts and learn new ways to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost food waste while taking care of my mother."
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 learn about the foods that grow locally and try gleaning or foraging.
I will buy locally grown food from my grocery store and make 3 meal(s).
When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.
I will share information about food waste and the actions that I am taking on social media.
In addition to using up my edible food, I will keep any extra scraps out of the trash by separating them for backyard composting, curbside pickup, or a drop-off program.
I will track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.
I will ask for half-portions options or share an entrée when eating out to minimize food waste.
I will plan to share meals with my 1 kids if I know they will not eat full restaurant portions.
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.
