Reducing Food Waste
Reducing food waste is an essential component of sustainable living. Studies indicate that awareness of food waste can lead to mindful consumption. As a family, create a plan to minimize waste by planning meals, using leftovers creatively, and properly storing food.
Organize “leftover nights” where everyone contributes creatively to meals made from leftovers. Discuss ways to improve your food storage and planning habits. What strategies have you implemented to reduce food waste? How do you feel about the meals created from leftover ingredients?
