How to Reduce Food Waste at Home?

Most people don't know how much food they throw away every day, which eventually turns into bad agricultural products. It is estimated that we will produce more than 60 million tons of food waste every year, and 68% of it will be landfilled or burned, which will not only waste a lot of food, but also seriously pollute the environment. For sustainable development, we need to take measures to reduce the production of food waste. 

 

 

Benefits of Reducing Food Waste

Reducing food waste can save us a lot of costs. In addition, it can also reduce methane emissions from landfills and prevent the greenhouse effect from becoming serious. We can donate food we don't like to local charities, so that millions of poor people can have enough food. 

 

 

Ways to Reduce Food Waste

Planning Tips

Before we buy food, we need to make a list, which can help us save time and money and eat healthier food. We should write down the type and quantity of food on the list, so as to avoid the waste caused by buying too much food. In addition, we should check whether there is any food left in the refrigerator before shopping. 

 

Storage Tips

If we buy a lot of food at one time, we have to put it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, these foods will soon deteriorate and become inedible. Refrigerators can extend the shelf life of food, so that we can have enough time to eat them all. Some fruits will release some gas after ripening, which will make other nearby fruits ripen and rot faster. Therefore, we should eat the ripe fruits in time. If some food goes bad, we can throw it into the food waste disposal. The food waste processor can crush food waste and discharge it into the sewer. The food waste smashed by the kitchen waste disposer will eventually go to the sewage treatment plant and be converted into methane.

 

Thriftiness Tips

If we want to reduce food waste, we must form good living habits. For example, we should eat leftovers and old ingredients in time to avoid their deterioration. And for food that has gone bad, we can throw it into the food waste crusher. The kitchen waste grinder smashes food waste and discharges it into the sewer to prevent it from smelling in the room. In addition, we can also throw the food waste smashed by the kitchen sink waste crusher into the soil in the yard, and they will be used as fertilizer to nourish the plants in the yard. When we eat in the restaurant, we can take the leftovers home as our food. When eating in the cafeteria, don't take too much food at one time to avoid waste.
