million tons of landfill waste million per year just to billion per year (more than (lending to greenhouse gas dispose the food 140 billion from households) emission)

Easy Ways to Reduce Waste:

shop wisely : plan meals, use shopping lists, buy from bulk bins, and avoid impulse buys.

buy imperfect produce : many fruits and vegetables are thrown out because of their size, shape, or color are not "right."

learn when food goes bad : refer to the handout of understanding the food label

mine your fridge : get creative with how to use up anything that might go bad soon, like the recipe below!

use your freezer : frozen foods remain safe indefinitely. Freeze fresh produce and leftovers if you won't have the chance to eat them before they go bad.

request smaller portions : restaurants will often provide half orders upon request at reduced prices.

eat leftovers : bring some to-go containers and take half of your meal home. Only about half of Americans take leftovers home from the restaurants.

compost : composting food scraps can reduce their climate impact while also recycling their nutrients
