5-STEP CHECKLIST
Fridge open?
Five ways to waste less food today
-
1
Look before you cook or shop
Open the fridge, freezer, and cupboard first. Let what you already have decide the meal.
-
2
Give leftovers a second role
Yesterday's food doesn't need repeating — it can become the starting point for something new today.
-
3
Use what's closest to the edge
Soft vegetables, tired herbs, cooked rice — soups, omelettes, stir-fries, and sauces are forgiving.
-
4
Store smart to buy time
Herbs in water, greens wrapped in cloth or paper, onions and potatoes out of the fridge. Trust your senses before throwing food away.
-
5
When food can't be eaten, feed the soil
Keep peels, stems, coffee grounds, and eggshells aside for compost instead of the bin.
