Reducing Food waste: 

• Sign up to be food rescuers- 18 states participate in Food Rescue US, a group that facilitates would be wasted food from grocery stores and delivers it to food insecure neighbors. Here is a list of organizations dedicated to reducing Food waste across the US 
• Sign up to work one day a month or a season at a shelter or Food bank – This can be a fun group activity.
• Work with your local Sustainability town committee- if you have one to educate residents about how to avoid food waste and save money. 
• Consider starting a composting neighborhood group. 

                        To start a compost bin, layer of wet food waste with a layer of dry waste like                                   newspaper or chopped up dry leaves. Keep the mixture damp and turn over the                                layers regularly to aerate.
