FOOD WASTE BLOG

How much food do you think the world wastes in one year?

88  million tons of food is wasted every year in the entire world!

This is an incredible amount of food; if you think of how much

food you waste every day, you will notice that is a lot! But there are

ways to reduce food waste in our home. By doing that we will start

to help the world be a better place!

Here are the 3 most efficient ways to reduce food in our homes: Plan

your shopping, Use up leftovers, and check expiration dates.

I believe that  a really efficient way to reduce food waste and even

to reduce your time in a supermarket is planning your shopping. With

a specific food plan you won’t waste much time deciding what to buy

in a supermarket, and it would really helpful with food waste because

you can buy everything you need and the exact amount. My family and
I do it really often, because we hate food waste.

Next, using up leftovers makes you waste less food because you

will eat it in the next days without throwing anything away. Some food

won’t be really good the next days like fruit and vegetables...

But, you  still can use fruit to make a smoothie or a fruit pie. On the other
hand, you can use vegetable to make different types of soups.

For example,sometimes, at my house

I eat some leftovers from the night before for lunch and that is very helpful...

Finally, Checking the expiration dates of food is really important not only

for food waste, but even for you, so it’s recommended to check

the date on any product you buy. if you are willing to buy a

product that you know you  aren’t going to eat for a

long time, always check the date that is written on top. personally,

I always check the dates because it’s really useful.

Food waste has a lot of bad effects on our planet, but

we can all help by doing something. That would help a lot, and

probably, in more than a couple of years we would live in a clean

world without food waste and without people who starve every day.
