I will try root-to-leaf recipes, which utilize all parts of the vegetable, such as beet greens, carrot tops, and herb stems.

I will watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

I will volunteer 10 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.

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 resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.

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 create an "Eat First" area in my fridge to prioritize food that needs to be used right away for my household of 5.

I will intentionally buy ugly produce at the grocery store, farmers market, or sign up for an ugly produce CSA box.
