There are easy and effective things we can do to reduce the wasting of food. The shortest one is just to not waste food. While this may sound blunt and rude, it is fairly easy to do and accomplish. In fact, many people have started working on these strategies. This could be ordering just enough food, not too much, or if you do order too much, eating it later as leftovers. This also includes buying food that’s close to it’s expiration date (if you think you can eat it all before it expires) so the store won’t throw it out. Another potential solution is to use the leftover food to feed to animals so that it doesn't just go to waste. Convince your friends and family to do the same, and we'll be on our way to a world free of food waste.
