“Reducing food waste is essential because there are millions of people in the world who go hungry every day. I try to reduce food waste in a number of ways.
I try to:
-buy only what i need and plan meals and make a shopping list
-use oddly-shaped or bruised fruits and vegables instead of throwing them away just because they do not look perfect as they often taste the same. I can use mature fruit and vegetables for soups, smoothies, juices and desserts.
-take smaller portions at home or share large dishes at restaurant
-freeze the food i have made but haven’t eaten for later or use the leftovers as an ingredient in another meal
-buy local produce by supporting family farmers and small business in my local community.
-use less water for example by turning off the water while brushing my teeth “
