- If large amounts of food are left as wastage, consider reducing the size of portions served.
- If eating out,split a dish with colleague so you don’t waste half of the giant portion size.
- When eating in a cafeteria, skip the tray.
- Donate Food
- Donate what you won’t use - Donate itto a food kitchen /Food bank before it expires so it can be consumed by someone who needs it.
- Donate the gross stuff, too - Club together in a colony to jointly collect the gross stuff and donate it to environment friendly waste disposal techniques.
Doing so is associated with a reduction in food waste, possibly because it’s harder for people to carry more food than they can actually eat.
