How much work is it to reduce food waste?
After two months of working to reduce our food waste, I’m proud to say – Not that hard. It takes planning, willingness to eat more at home and being honest about what you will eat.
In January, our total was 11.029 kilograms. 24.314 pounds.
That’s equivalent to a dachshund! Not nearly as cute though!
In February, we were aiming to waste 15% less than January – approximately 10 kg or 22 lbs. We crushed it! Our food waste was 5.6 kg ( 12 lbs).
That’s a bowling ball!
How?
- We talked about what we would *really* eat. Sometimes we were buying food on sale but didn’t truly enjoy eating it.
- We ate out a bit less.
- We meal planned more.
For March, we’d like to maintain – it’s important to get to a good place (if not THE Good Place) and work on keeping that status quo for a bit.
