“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 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 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 local produce by supporting family farmers and small businesses in my local community.
– use less water for example by turning off the water while brushing my teeth”
