Food waste is a major issue, but small changes can have a big impact. The Stop Food Waste Challenge offers a chance to act, reduce waste and help create a more sustainable future. By participating, you’ll learn simple, effective ways to cut waste, save money and support your community. Follow these tips to help reduce your food waste:
Buy only what you need.
Think twice before throwing food away.
Always make a shopping list.
Think First In, First Out so you use older items first.
Store food correctly.
Make a weekly menu.
Freeze extras, preserve food for later use.
Together, we can build a more sustainable future one meal at a time. The challenge runs through August. Join the City of Bloomington team and sign up today at stopfoodwaste.ecochallenge.org.
