• Plan meals
• Buy only what you need - shop smarter
• Learn how to pickle or preserve your excess food

To reuse food waste:

• Learn great recipes to cook with leftovers
• Plan ahead and take your leftovers to school/work for lunch

To recycle food waste:

• Learn the difference between avoidable and unavoidable food waste, and eliminate avoidable waste via reduce and reuse.
• Get to know your food waste, and decide on the compost system (or combination of systems) that best suits your food recycling (compost) needs.
