The kitchen, while central to family life, leads to substantial food waste, costing families around $1,500 annually due to unused groceries. Despite a collective recognition of this issue, change is slow, although a growing number of Americans are adopting sustainable practices. Strategies such as meal planning, making use of leftovers, and proper food storage are highlighted as effective methods to mitigate waste. Families are encouraged to involve children in waste reduction efforts, making it a fun and educational experience. These steps not only help the environment but also save money.
To cut waste, buy only what you'll use before your next shopping trip and embrace meal planning to skip impulse buys.
A clean-out-the-fridge night with family can make using leftovers fun, teaching children resourcefulness while reducing waste.
