Pledge to Cut Down on Food Waste

Petition Letter:  

Dear World Wildlife Fund,

I pledge to take meaningful action to reduce food waste in my home. Wasted food means wasted resources and money—and takes a staggering toll on our planet. By implementing at least one of these practical strategies, I commit to creating a more sustainable kitchen. I will:

– Freeze foods that are often thrown out—like veggies, fruit, bread, and milk— before they go bad
– Eat leftovers once a week (or more!)
– Use wilting, browning, or imperfect produce to make smoothies, bread, jams, sauces, or soup stocks
– Create a “use-it-up” shelf in the fridge and pantry for foods that may go to waste, putting them in a visible place so they aren’t forgotten
– Write a grocery list and stick to it every trip to avoid over-purchasing food
