Find Ways To Reduce Food Waste With Fresh Takes
You may have heard of SWACO’s food waste initiative called Save More than Food, but do you know about Fresh Takes?
Reducing food waste is incredibly important because a million pounds of food waste comes to the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill every day. Fresh Takes can help you shrink that number, save natural resources, and cut your own family’s food budget.
Visit SaveMoreThanFood.org/FreshTakes for tips and tricks on ways to reduce food waste, including meal planning, smart leftover storage, and even delicious food-saving recipes, fun videos, and more.
Grilling Green This Summer
To really ensure you have a green summer, it’s time to grill smarter. Everyone loves a nice backyard barbecue, so here are a few ways to make your grill game greener.
- Embrace leftovers and share with loved ones. Send leftovers home with your guests and even encourage them to bring reusable containers to take food home.
- Use reusable plates and cutlery to prevent your trash from filling up with all of those single-use plastic plates and utensils.
- Make recycling easy and noticeable. Keep it simple for guests by setting your recycling bin next to the trash can and posting a sign so that everyone knows what goes where.
