“Reducing food waste is essential because there are millions of people in the world who go hungry every day. I try to reduce food waste in a number of ways .
I try to :
– buy only what i need and plan meals and make a shopping list
– use oddly – shaped or bruised fruits and vegetables instead of throwing them away just because they do not look perfect as they often taste the same. I can use mature fruit or vegetables for soups, smoothies, juices and desserts
– take smaller portions at home or share larger dishes at restaurants
– freeze the food i have made but haven’t eaten for later or use the leftovers as an ingredient in another meal
– buy local produce by supporting family farmers and small businesses in my local community
– use less water for example by turning off the water while brushing my teeth.”
