Three ways not to waste food you can do at home

Have ever thought of the huge amounts of food we waste there is daily? Only in the United States of America around sixty billion tons of food are wasted each year. So I would like to propose to you three ways you could start to act on the global problem of food waste.

First of all it starts with your shopping habit. Do not get carried away on that biscuit aisle just because you are hungry. Shop strategically. Plan your shopping list and always remember to check your dates on the items just so you don’t have to throw your food away because it has expired.

Then always be sure not to over quantitate your meals because you don’t want to throw away the food you don’t eat. Instead, do like my mother does. She puts it in a container and stores it until the next meal.

Finally you can turn waste food into a positive thing for the environment. If for some reason food isn't usable just put it into an organic bin so that with time it can become some really good organic fertilizer. This is a good alternative to throwing it away.

This is a really important topic globally and if we don’t take action now then this world the world we know and love will not exist anymore with time. We don’t have any time left to decide so if you want to contribute then please take an act and follow our guide.
