Food waste at home and what to do about it!

What can we do at home to prevent food waste as good as possible?

• Make a week menu in which you measure how much food you actually need and keep one day free for if there’s any left at the end of the week. So, you can eat the leftovers then. (Later we will discuss different recipes with leftovers)
• Keep animals that eat the leftovers we can’t really eat
• Chickens eat nearly everything
• Some parts of vegetables you can also feed your rabbit, Guinee pig, hamster, …
• Keep a compost waste bin More...

Hello everyone!

Today we receive the task to collect project ideas.

Our own idea was food wasting because it is a very important topic which effect all of us.

We are pitching the following project idea:

No food waste at home! We challenge YOU to make sure that you don't waste any food that you buy, cook or eat for a week. Additionally, we would like for you to buy food on sale, meaning food that would be thrown away in a few days because of the *insane* expiration date or because they don't look appealing enough to sell. This way you can save money, food and our planet!

We thought of a few ways to help you achieve this awesome project:

- store leftovers and eat them the next day
- calculate the amount of food you Need to cook
- feed leftovers to your pets (unseasoned meat for the dog or salad for your rabbits)
- find new recipes to include your older Food (e.a. ripe bananas = cooked chocolate bananas or old bread could be toasted)
- subscribe to your local supermarkets Newsletter to be updated About the sales they have

We would love if you joined us on our journey and shared your experience with us. We will create a survey and insert the link here as soon as our Project is approved.

Kind regards,
Aìna and Melisa
