We can end food waste. We just need to follow these four steps:
- PLAN
- Meal planning can save you money AND help save the earth's resources. The ultimate win-win..
- USE
- Proper storage and using what you buy means not wasting food.
- CREATE
- Cook end-to-stem, transform leftovers, and use imperfect fruits
- And if possible create opportunity for others by donating
