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 set aside time to prepare meals in advance.

I will explore different meal plan techniques and choose one that works for my household.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 01.

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 watch 2 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

I will volunteer 2 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.
