I will allow green, unripe avocados to ripen on the counter then transfer them to the refrigerator. Once cut, I will keep the pit in and rub the avocado with lemon or oil to reduce browning. I will properly store 3 avocados.

I will buy loose produce or food from the bulk section to get the exact quantity I need.

I will learn about how to repurpose my leftovers into new meals and then try it.

I will watch 1 videos or documentaries to learn about the scope and scale of food waste in this country.

I will store vegetable scraps or bones in my freezer and use them to make veggie stock or bone broth. I will make 2 batches.

I will intentionally buy ugly produce at the grocery store, farmers market, or sign up for an ugly produce CSA box.

I will learn about food storage and store food based on best practices to keep it from spoiling before it is used.

I will track the food that my household of 1 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 1.
