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.

I will learn about what food is still safe to eat if portions have gone bad and make sure to utilize the edible portions if I can.

To keep berries fresh, place them on top of a paper towel in a sealed container to absorb excess moisture and reduce chances of molding. I will properly store 1 packs of berries.

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

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