How to Stop Wasting Food

It’s the best thing you can do in your kitchen for the planet

Here’s a goal for Earth Day. What if this April 22nd we didn’t throw out any food at all? How would that work? What would we do in our kitchens differently? How could we achieve the most efficient flow from grocery store to refrigerator to plate and beyond?

As part of the launch of The Climate Diet I have a short essay in Food52 about concrete steps you can take in the kitchen to save money and stop kitchen waste. As you’ll see from the article not wasting food has huge multiplier effects that help you bring your household to net zero.

Have a look. Give it a try. And drop a note about your experience.
