I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 1 preservation techniques.

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

I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.

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 watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

When I restock my fridge or pantry, I will put new items in the back and bring older items to the front to be used first.

I will properly store apples by keeping them on the counter for up to 7 days and then moving them to the refrigerator.I will keep them away from bananas and avocados, since those speed ripening. I will properly store 10 apples.

I will volunteer 6 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.
