I will create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 3.

I will organize my refrigerator to maximize shelf life based on the temperature and humidity of different spots.

I will roll unwashed lettuce in a dry towel, then store it in a sealed bag in the refrigerator. I will properly store 2 bunches of leafy greens.

I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

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

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.

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

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

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.
