I use a compost service and it’s really changed how I eat and what I buy. There’s a bunch of industrially compostable packaging so if you find a sustainable business, you can have the products you want without producing the associated waste.
Meal planning is also important since you can spend a ton on food that won’t get entirely eaten, which can turn into a financial and food waste cycle in itself.
Nice, practical tips to get started. Doing it imperfectly is still better than not at all.
I'm always shocked when I read the numbers about food waste. If it were like 1 percent, you'd say, yeah, it's a big country, so it's expected there's going to be some waste. But 40 percent is a behaviour and infrastructure problem.
I like the practical advice. I freeze anything that's freezeable. And another thing is the "this-is-odd stew" I sometimes make from bits of various foods that are at the tipping point. Mix it all together and maybe have some hot sauce handy, and you're good to go.
Save the Planet. Don't Waste Food.

Thank you for this important reminder--especially this time of year!
