One way I am reducing waste in my home is by using all the “scraps”, or at least trying to. We do not like wasting food and this is a great way to use everything as much as possible.
-
One thing that I am going to try is someone suggested putting produce in the doors instead of crisper drawers so you can use the produce first. This is a great way to make sure nothing “goes bad” and that you eat the more nutritious foods first!

One way I currently reduce waste in my home is by finding secondary sources of use for foods, when fruits begin to go bad, I make a smoothie or mask for my hair or face using the ingredients. Also, I make my own compost at home for my herb garden.

One thing I would like to try at home from the curriculum is to start fermenting and pickling foods, I’ve always enjoyed pickled foods and vegetables often go bad before I can use them so I will like to incorporate it in my household.
- I plan the meal I will make for the week, and buy only those ingredients I need for it.
- I want to start using part of the veggies I don’t usually eat to either try and grow veggies or use them in other meal plans.
- My mother and I have been composting for a bout ten years! She is big into gardening so she likes to keep her soil enriched and we put everything into one of those large composters that you can rotate. We also make dilly beans with the seemingly thousands of beans she harvests per year.
- Sauerkraut is my favorite food! So, I would love to start making that at home along with pickled red onions, and incorporating chia seeds into canned jams we make.
- Proper storing practices, dividing meals and storing them properly to cut down on waste and have options throughout the week.
- Making veggie stock from scraps.

- One way I try to reduce food waste in my home is by only buying a few things of produce at a time, especially fruits, and not buying any more until those ones at eaten up first.
- One thing I would like to try at home is starting my own compost bin. We have a lot of food waste just from cutting up our fruits and veggies and I think that could make a big difference.
- I make sure to prep produce before it goes bad and freeze it if I am not going to use it right away.
- I would like to try using different parts of produce that I wouldn’t normally think to use.
1.I meal prep for the week based on my monthly budget and make sure I do not buy any extra items I might not use. Also I compost my egg shells, coffee grinds, and any foods that are past the use by date.
2. I freeze marinades and soup stock into ice cubes and melt them down whenever I make something

- A method of food waste that I am currently trying to explore at home is by labeling leftover and cooked items with the date that they were opened/order/eaten. That way, when I look into the fridge I know what the older items simply by looking at the dates I have written on the side.
- Something that I would like to pursue more in the fridge organization techniques.
