Together we can end food waste. The image is of cartoon characters standing together and smiling, sharing this message.

We can end food waste. We just need to follow these four steps:

  • PLAN
    • Meal planning can save you money AND help save the earth's resources. The ultimate win-win..

 

  • USE
    • Proper storage and using what you buy means not wasting food.

 

  • CREATE
    • Cook end-to-stem, transform leftovers, and use imperfect fruits
    • And if possible create opportunity for others by donating
