A bonus of not throwing food out: your garbage doesn't stink. I compost all organic materials, leaving only plastic, clothing unsuitable for charity, and broken items as trash -- 1 can every 6 weeks for a family of 3. Food waste in the garbage makes the streets stink on garbage day. It makes landfills off-gas or incinerators burn inefficiently. Sure, not everybody can compost, but it's time to develop policies to deal with not only the waste of edible food, but the waste of inedible food too.

Every action starts with a thought. Thank you for these thoughts.

Yep, I have worked in supermarkets and can agree that so much is wasted!

After doing a waste audit at our local elementary school last year we found that 70% of the dumpster bound discards were compostable food scraps and liquids. We started a composting program. Each day we compost approx. 50 pounds of food scraps-excluding meat and dairy-for a population of about 440 students. That's 9,000 pounds per year not counting liquids. We have done this w/ a small group of parent volunteers and support of school staff. Working on streamlining & district sharing.

WHY EXCLUDE MEAT & DAIRY? IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL!!

Very good talk. Food Waste is out of control at every stage of the chain.

Bravo! And really addressing food waste is not that difficult. For example; The little town of Limburg, Belgium offered 3 chickens to 2,000 households as an experiment in 2010 to cut down on household waste. Belgian officials have reported that the chickens are a huge success, organic waste has been cut in half and the families have gained a supply of free, fresh eggs.Feb 20, 2023

For making compose out-of food waste at home, we can put up two bins one for wet and one for dry waste, so that authorised person for waste collecting can daily collect the wet waste from the kitchen and take it for making compose.

Back when I used to buy packaged food, I would continue to eat it until it was finished far from a month of the expiration date. It smelled just as good as when I bought it and never had any problems. My husband, if he ever found out, would complain of stomach pain because of having "rotten food" but if he didn't know, it was expired, he never complained. Now that I make my own food and buy only what I need, I do admit some of my food gets a bit moldy, so if my jam's canning failed and mold grew in it, I scoop the little mold out and eat the jam as is. Buying from the bulk bins really helps by only getting what you need. No one is pressuring you to eat a pound of almonds if you only needed about a cup's worth. Also, do some dumpster diving for food when possible!

Great presentation.

Wonderfully lucid. Well presented and organised.

A wonderful thought, motivating and inspiring the goal is near

Very insightful...Wealth of information that has helped me with an assignment

I have never once bought more food than I could eat.

Beautiful presentation! Thank you for making me proud to be brutish too. Those things are all true what you said but there is still so much waste here too. I’ve recently bought a compost bin which I’m really enjoying so if I make a mistake as we all do, I can feel less guilty by throwing some waste in there. Then it nourishes my plants!

not in the food waste category but when i go to a restaurant i don't use a lid or straw. not sure where the lid and straw came from at restaurants, but who doesn't know how to drink out of a cup/glass without a straw? i think it's a safe bet 99.9% of people don't use straws at home on a regular basis. if you get a fast food meal to go or drive thru i understand the need, but next time you eat at a restaurant skip the lid and straw

what about not growing more food than is needed and is harmful to the environment?

You had me until the "Smart Fridge" comment. Tell me... While you were hiking did you think to yourself "If only assholes had a 'smart fridge' to tell them when their berries might be done the world would be a better place?" Get Real!

I drank some milk expired it even smelled and tasted a little funny and it was just fine. I didn’t get sick. I think there is something in milk added that gives it a funny smell but it’s ok to eat . I don’t know haha

Zealitic if you just smell the milk from the opening it will smell a little funny long before it’s bad. Then pour it out and drink it it’s fine.

I don’t understand why so many people are food insecure, with so much of your taxes are spent on welfare and food stamps. What is the money use for if not food

I have a big problem, and bitching on KZread is pathetic, I know, but I don't want to cry on Facebook or start shit at work (yet) but I need advice. At my grocery store thousands of dollars worth of edible produce gets thrown in the trash because of a combination of lack of labor/time to "red bag" it for reduced sale and general apathy. I'm not in produce. I'm a butcher, but It was so hard to see so much get thrown to the worms. I complained about it long enough to learn I could catch more ants with honey than vinegar and let them think it was their own idea to let me go through what they toss and "red bag" it myself at a discount and truck it down to the homeless shelter. I've been doing this for months. Recently, we've been blessed with a new third wheel store director who put a stop to it. I literally saw this guy take the shit and eat it himself in front of me while stopping me from donating it for "protocol reasons". I know, for reasons of hours and pressure to make things up front cherry that this now will go on and none of this will be red bagged for extra sheckels and go right back into the worm dumpster and I could be fired for sifting through it off the clock to donate. I don't know what to do. I'm not a hippy environmentalist let's all hold hands and make everything free and we can all jack each other off singing coombiah type of person either. I'm not even liberal. I'm not even anti big business either, but what I have seen is awful, and illegal and most developed countries. I did something about it and now these pigs put a stop to it and I'm not ready to risk my job over it. I want to go back to what I was doing and I don't know how. I know people that watch these videos do care about stuff like this and I'm one of the people that can actually make a difference, but they fucked me over. I've got ideas and I'm not giving up or feeling sorry for myself or starting shit (yet) but I could use an outside perspective. And don't tell me to complain to corporate. Help me out, KZread

Depending on where you live, there's a chance your local municipal government will help you. I used to work for a small municipal government, specifically helping grocery stores reduce their waste. Your local government might have an environmental planner or program in place to assist you in starting a food waste program at your store, or can even show the store manager their options to reduce their waste and possibly save money. If it is a chain grocery store like Kroger, you can talk to corporate because they almost always have other stores reducing their waste due to local ordinances in other regions (dependent on the size of the chain). I wouldn't go to corporate with a complaint, but rather seek advice and see if there is any sort of successful program in place in another store. If it is not a chain grocery store/the chain has no other stores that reduce waste, unfortunately it'll take a requirement on the store, a manager who genuinely cares to reduce their waste, or someone like you willing to open their eyes to the benefits of reducing food waste. Good luck!

I don't have the answers and what Sara said is probably the way to go and don't go with the vinnegar ideas. That's not who we are. Political affilliation, social and cultural tags, status and hierarchy matter nothing anymore. You know that damn well. The problems we face at the moment cut through all the things that used to divide us in the past. What business people just love more than anything in the world is positive publicity. Look at all the positive things around food waste that company does and chant it from the roof. As soon as they get a whiff of positive pubicity, see how fast these people jump on the bandwagon to accomodate your efforts. Win-win for everybody involved. Congratulations, you have just shifted from 'that whiner we need to sack' to 'the valuable employee we need to keep'. Positive advertising is the key to success in our new paradigm and they better get themselves on board. The truth is, you can not shame people into doing a positive thing. You can only praise the positivity and more positivity flows from it. We are not fighting something. Fighting doesn't work as seen in the past. As Mr. Einstein said "You can't repeat the same thing over and over, expecting a different result" ...or something along those lines. We are working to enlarge the number of good things happening in the world, and by doing that, the negative things will diminish automatically. Stay positive, Nunya. Much love and support. *Every employer should be thrilled to have such a golden, intimately involved and engaged employee. You are one in a million. Never forget that.*

Thank you for your kind words. It's been a long time since I posted this and since then I've volunteered w/ the "non profit" that is contracted w my company for donations. They are letting me help but not like before. The government isn't going to do anything and my company already has their feather in their hat on top of tax breaks through our charity. Oh well. At least I can help not throw out meat. The produce is still worm food.

The smart fridge maybe be one of the more disillusioned ideas. Those computers and the precious metals they require are just as big of a pollutant and hazard in all the same lifecycles as are foodwaste. There are answers but logical and sound practices are needed not just pipe dreams. Tech isn't always the darn answer. Make a compost pile, refuse to use single use plastics, walk or ride instead of drive, know your local farmers or be willing to pay more for the real deal... this is how we can change.

I hate when people lick and slow smack their lips during a presentation.
