10 Ways To Get To Zero Waste In The Kitchen
9. Compost
Composting is a great way to cut back on food waste while help give your garden a boost. Composting adds nutrients to the soil, reduces the need for fertilizers, and helps prevent plant disease and pests. Not everything can be thrown into the compost heap, but with a little diligence and a plan, you can be well on your way.
10. Proper Food Storage
Prevent food from meeting an early demise (or making you sick) by properly storing it. But, keep foods at a proper temperature to prevent bacteria growth. Cover in tightly sealed, food-safe containers.
