Invited to a party but not sure what to bring? Rather than doubling up on drinks and food when you know there will be plenty on the table, why not bring some “to-go” containers? As people leave the party, they can take home leftovers, so everyone can enjoy the treats again. https://t.co/jIfWsWq18Q...

Looking to reduce your food waste in the new year? In the United States, we currently waste more than 1,000 calories per person per day, which is enough food to feed over 150 million people each year. The majority of food waste happens at the consumer level, and reducing waste in households and restaurants would lower emissions in every step prior to consumption. Learning to use your senses rather than labels to decide when food is spoiled, and lowering portion sizes in restaurants are just some of the ways we can begin stopping food waste before it starts.

Every week in the Food Shift Kitchen, the apprentices in our on-the-job training (OJT) program make a family meal for everyone on-site using entirely recovered foods and pantry items. This week, Vince was our only apprentice in the kitchen, and he made delicious fried rice and stir fried garlic green beans. Family meals are a great way for Food Shift apprentices to practice culinary skills while reducing waste by giving new life to recovered food!
