I will check to see what will be ready to eat in my garden or CSA box this week and plan recipes that use these ingredients.

I will track the food that my household of 1 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will sign up for Fridge Check Friday emails, sent by Hennepin County but open to everyone, to prompt me to check my fridge for food that needs to be used up and for hacks on storing food to keep it fresh.

I will try a new method of food preservation, such as canning, pickling, drying or making jam. I will try 1 preservation techniques.

I will follow 2 bloggers and influencers to get continuous tips and reminders that I can add to my lifestyle to waste less food.
