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

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 6 apples.

I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

I will rescue limp produce like leafy greens or carrots by soaking them in cold water or using them in recipes where appearance doesn't matter.

I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.

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.

When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.
