Find your reason to reduce wasted food
“As a mother, I was initially interested in controlling food waste as a way to save money. Saving money on my family's food made it possible for me to donate food to the local food shelf that was supported by my church. It wasn't until later that I learned how wasted food is also an environmental issue. So now I have several reasons for cutting my food waste,” said Anne S., a participant in a past Stop Food Waste Challenge.
When you join the challenge, you can commit to taking actions that will have the most impact in your household – the challenge has more than 60 actions to choose from in six categories.

About one-third of the food we put in the organics recycling is leftovers or unspoiled food that could have been eaten!
Join the Stop Food Waste Challenge to learn better strategies for buying food you’ll eat and eating the food you buy. This will help you minimize the volume of wasted food your household produces, keep edible food out of your organics bin, and save money.
There are several upcoming events to celebrate the kick-off of the Stop Food Waste Challenge. Find a list of all events on the events page.
