We all have cans hiding in the back corner we forgot about. There\u2019s no reason to buy more of what you already have.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plan your menu and know your numbers.<\/strong>&nbsp;According to the&nbsp;Natural Resources Defense Council, planning menus in advance can limit waste. A head count will help you increase or decrease recipe measurements to the correct proportions, making it easier to buy the correct amount of ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cSell by\u201d and \u201cbest by\u201d dates aren\u2019t chiseled in stone.<\/strong>&nbsp;These dates are guidelines. Some products may still be good long after their expiration date.&nbsp;Bloom&nbsp;suggests, \u201cyou should always trust your senses before that arbitrary date on the package. Look, smell, and if it comes to it, taste it before you throw it away.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repurpose turkey giblets, stale bread, and other \u201cwaste.\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>Remember Grandma\u2019s to-die-for gravy? Chances are she used turkey giblets to flavor the family favorite. The&nbsp;EPA&nbsp;suggests using parts of the bird that normally end up in the trash as a great way to pump up flavor while reducing waste in landfills. That mound of veggie tops and roots?&nbsp;Make homemade soup stock&nbsp;and freeze it for later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Portion control is key.&nbsp;<\/strong>Using smaller plates and Love Food Hate Waste\u2019s&nbsp;portion calculator&nbsp;can help in making the right amount whether you are cooking for two or 20 people.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Love your leftovers.&nbsp;<\/strong>Love Food Hate Waste&nbsp;provides recipes to creatively use leftovers. Using leftovers in another recipe following a holiday dinner makes meals easy. Cook once, eat twice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Donate to the hungry.<\/strong>&nbsp;Find your local food bank, and donate excess or unused food to those in need.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve others.<\/strong>&nbsp;Eaters can help people, and our planet, by volunteering at places like&nbsp;D.C. Central Kitchen&nbsp;and&nbsp;City Harvest. There are similar organizations that use donated food to cook for communities in need in cities across the U.S. Gather friends or family members to multiply your efforts and reduce more waste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encourage policy makers to create and foster a food system that serves consumer health and the environment.&nbsp;<\/strong>Improving labeling policies and practices can decrease confusion for consumers, leading to a reduction in food waste. A recent&nbsp;report&nbsp;by Emily Broad Leib, Director of Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic, states, \u201cCongress, federal administrative agencies, state legislatures, and state agencies should work towards a system of date labeling that is more standardized, more easily understood by consumers, and less arbitrary.\u201d Encourage policy makers to reduce food waste and improve food safety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are putting together your own gift baskets you may want to add in a gift book from our collection of gift books.
