Project pitch: No food waste at home

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

    Dear Aìna and Melisa

    The audio has a good quality and is very inspiring. It sounds like you are very motivated and ready to move something.

    We think this is a great project idea to keep an eye on the food which would be wasted. It is a good possibility to make some thoughts before one is doing the grocery shopping and to sensitise the people to be more careful what and how much they buy.

    Best regards
    Claudia & Sharon

    Dear Aìna and Melisa
    You've chosen an interesting topic that affects everyone, no matter what country they live in. Myself I also find it difficult to have an overview of my food at home and not to throw away to much of expired food.
    I am curious what the result of your survey will be.
    Regards, Jeannine
