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 set structure around mealtimes, serve right-sized portions and allow my kids to follow their hunger cues.

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 track the food that my household of 3 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will download and use an app that helps me track and manage my food.

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 follow 2 food waste prevention bloggers and influencers to get continuous tips and reminders that I can add to my lifestyle to waste less food.

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.
