3 ways to reduce food waste at home

Food waste

10 million tons of consumable food go to waste in France every year. Each person would throw about 20 kilos of food still consumable each year, which represents 1.2 million tons of food that end up in the dumpster.

I think some French people could use their wasted food for compost. That’s a good idea to start reducing food waste . In France, the school Henri Le-Moal had an idea, the students practice composting their own meal tray waste. Thanks to the practice of composting,the students will valorize the inevitable waste of their plates as for example, the peelings of the fruits.

    

Next, Instead of putting the leftovers in the trash, they can be used for lunch the next day, for dinner the next day or to be frozen for another occasion. This will help not to waste and spoil a good meal. In France, many families started to do exactly the same thing. Some supermarkets also started stepped in for food preservation. They are sold cheaper. this helps to reduce the loss of food and waste.

finally prepare a shopping list. When you have to go shopping to fill the fridge, you must make a list and respect it. like that when we go shopping we buy the necessary for the week without excess. This can help reduce food waste. The list is a very good way not to take everything.

The conclusion is that we must be careful for the future of our planet so be careful not to waste food. these three ways of not wasting food are good options. They already help many families to waste the food they buy.
