Your next step towards a sustainable lifestyle could be to your very own kitchen by making a few changes to your eating habits. Taking intentional steps to decrease food waste can lead to a reduced carbon footprint and improved health, and it's easier than you think!

Some ways you can do this are:

• Plan your meals in advance and only buy exactly what you need

• Embrace a plant-based diet (even if it is just for one day of the week, ex. "Meatless Monday")

• Cook meals using ingredients you already have on hand instead of going to the store

• Purchase from local farmers to support your community and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation

• These small changes can lead to healthier people and a healthier planet!
