“Reducing food waste Is essential because there are millions of people in the world who go hungry every day. I try ti 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 vegetables 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 and desserts.
-take smaller portions at home or share large dishes at restaurants
-freeze the food I have made but haven’t eaten for later or use the leftovers as an ingredient in another meal
-buy locale produce by supporting family farmers and small businesses in my locale comunity.
-use less water for example by turning off the water while brushing my teeth”
