Don’t waste food
One-third of all food produced is either lost or wasted. According to UNEP’s Food Waste and Index Report, people globally waste 1 billion tons of food each year, which accounts for around 8-10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Avoid waste by only buying what you need. Take advantage of every edible part of the foods you purchase. Measure portion sizes of rice and other staples before cooking them, store food correctly (use your freezer if you have one), be creative with leftovers, share extras with your friends and neighbors and contribute to a local food-sharing scheme.
Make compost out of inedible remnants and use it to fertilize your garden. Composting is one of the best options for managing organic waste while also reducing environmental impacts.
