1000 Flowers for the Planet - #491 Schedule a Weekly Fridge Day
With 30 to 40% of waste being food it’s
important we work at different ways of reducing that figure, preferably to
zero. Already suggested were: Flower #6 Compost Vege Peels; Flower #15 Create a
Worm Farm; Flower #116 Use a Bio-Fermenter; Flower #274 Serve Smaller Portions;
and Flower #382 Avoid Food Waste. All of these ideas help keep food out of
landfill. Another is to schedule a weekly fridge day, where you devote time to
taking everything out of the refrigerator to see what is there and what items
are close to their use-by or best-before dates. Fridges can be very good at
hiding these foodstuffs, so seek them out weekly and use that older food in
your cooking within a day or two, to ensure it is eaten rather than wasted. You
can give your fridge a quick wipe as you do this, keeping everything clean and
fresh. It will simplify your life, save you money and help the planet.
