H's Actions
Community
Recycle More Organics
I will add organics recycling collection bins to all areas of the house where organics are generated, such as the bathroom.
Community
Advocate for More Food Options
I will advocate for local and/or organic food options at work, on campus, at the store, or at a restaurant I frequent.
Shopping
Scrutinize Deals
I will resist the suggestion to buy the quantity advertised on sale and only buy what I know I will eat.
Shopping
Skip the Cart
Bigger carts make us feel like we need to fill them! Use a hand basket to improve grocery store discipline and prevent over-purchasing.
Planning
Create a Weekly Meal Plan
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu of meals and ingredients for my household of 2.
Planning
Track My Wasted Food
I will keep notes on all the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn how what we're wasting, how much, and why it goes to waste.
Planning
Use a Portion Planner
I will use a portion size guide to ensure appropriate portions when cooking. I will cook 3 portion-appropriate meals.
Planning
Meal Prep
I will set aside time to prepare 10 meals in advance.
Planning
Take a Food Inventory
I will take a fridge and pantry inventory to stay up to date with what I have at home before I go grocery shopping.
Shopping
Support Imperfection
I will intentionally buy ugly produce at the grocery store, farmers market, or sign up for an ugly produce CSA box.

Reflection QuestionPlanning Take a Food InventoryAre there food items you have been better about using up and not wasting since you started keeping an inventory of what's in your fridge?
