      Perfect is too much for anyone. Trying is all anyone can ask for! Good Job!!

    I have started taking the time to research and store foods for longer life.

    Did you know that not all food labeling means the same thing? How have you changed your habits to decide if food is still safe to eat?

    I have always used sight and smell as indicators.

    How has your awareness of the food you waste changed since you started separating it from other trash? Did anything surprise you?

    I add more to garbage disposal. I freeze more fruit for smoothies. I do more stir fry with veges.

    I've been able to eat food without throwing it away. One time I had very old pasta that somehow got missed, so I gave it away to someone for an art project.

    It's definitely less messy and I appreciate that it means less waste is going to the landfill.

    I didn't know to refridgerate avocados once they were ripe. That's helpful.

    For my household, the hardest part is managing a six-adult home with everyone doing their own autonomous thing. I can't force others to adopt my values and choices in not wasting food and other items.
