If everyone scheduled a "leftover night" once a week, and used it to eat everything that will otherwise spoil or be thrown out, that would help a lot! You can toss any fruits, veggies, etc., into a salad, and most everything else can become either a main entrée or a side dish, depending on quantity. I find writing out weekly dinner menus and using them to create my shopping list cuts down on excess waste too.

How I save on waste of food when I make mashed potatoes I make enough for next nights meal for potatoe pancakes red pepper fresh sliced in bits sweet onion 1 farm fresh egg & 1/2 cup to 1 cup flour as well add shredded cheese to

My neighborhood has a "community compost pile" and I use it all the time.

Sad to hear about all of the waste.☹️

I’m putting it out back in a compost pile
