Food waste is a worldwide serious issue and it is past the average that one person can fight over. Therefore, I really wish that WE can work together and gradually reduce the food waste in the world

.

① SHOP SMART

➳ It might sound simple, yet it is very important thing you should do. Not a lot of people are actually writing down their grocery list. Before you shop, check what you have at home. Plus, don’t ever shop when you are extremely hungry. I have made many mistakes on this and I ended up throwing leftovers. So, shopping with meals in mind will reduce food waste as well as saving your time and money!

② SAVE and EAT – LEFTOVERS!

➳ A lot of households throw out their food because they have overcooked their meals or ordered too much food at a restaurant. Try to love your leftovers and there is tons of ways to make leftover foods to fresh and delicious meals. Keep track or label the food of how long the they have been in your fridge or freezer This is very smart way since it will save your money and save the world!

③ STORE FOOD in the RIGHT PLACES

➳ It is often hard to think where to store food in the right place. I always get confused whether I should put the food at room temperature or in the refrigerator. BUT! I have found a great website which will help us get through this! Food Republic will show and help you spot where your foods should go. This website certainly helped me a lot.

④ DONATE to FOOD BANKS and FARMS

➳ Look into food banks and farms where you can donate the items you know you are not going to eat before the food passes the expiration dates. Share your food to the people who desperately needs it! Moreover, you can donate your scraps or other kinds of food to feed livestock.

⑤ TRY COMPOSTING!

➳ In the same vein, you can compost certain foods and feed your garden. It certainly can reduce the amount of waste and create a free, nutritious-rich fertilizer that helps your plants to grow more beautifully. Though, not all food waste can be composted. Only the uncooked vegetable scraps, fruit peelings, coffee ground, eggshells can be home composted. BUT, composting should not be top-of-mind because we should try to reduce the waste we create. We should donate food, try to feed livestock, use scraps for industrial energy and then compost.
