🌱 Wasted food in landfills produces methane — a potent greenhouse gas
Simplified date labeling could cut waste by 800,000 tons per year (ReFED estimate).
✅ Tips to Reduce Food Waste
Learn label meanings
Stop tossing good food
Store food properly
Extend freshness (e.g., herbs in water, berries washed in vinegar)
Use the FIFO method
“First In, First Out” — move older items to front
Freeze extras
Bread, milk, cooked meals, even cheese
Compost scraps
Turn peels and coffee grounds into garden gold
🥣 Pro Tip: Make a “use me first” bin in your fridge for items nearing their date.
