1Around one-third of the food produced worldwide gets spoiled every year. This massive wastage of food isn't just one of the root causes of global hunger. It's also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. So,what can we do to minimize food waste in everyday life?

2Shop your fridge and pantry （食物儲(chǔ)藏室） before going grocery shopping. Check what you have to make sure you don't double. 1 A list will also help you focus and make fewer impulse purchases.

3Learn how to store fruits and vegetables correctly. Don't putting everything in the fridge. It's clever to store different items correctly to help them last longer. For instance, you can keep potatoes and onions in the dark and separate from one another. 2

4Reuse leftovers. Most of us, when cooking, search for a recipe based on what we feel like eating, go out shopping and finally cook the dish. 3 So rather than starting the process with a recipe, look through the refrigerator and pantry. See what's on hand and let that food be what you'll cook for dinner.

5Give away food that you know you're not going to eat before it spoils. Use neighborhood networks to help you connect with neighbors and share goods that you don't need. You can also donate excess dry goods to local food banks.

64 Ask yourself why it went bad? Did I buy too much at the store? Did I have intentions to cook but ended up getting takeout? Did I buy it because I thought it was “healthy” but then decided I didn't want to eat it? The more you can understand your eating habits, the more you can waste less food.

7Let us all do our part in saving food. 5 If each of us follows all the tips outlined in this text, and in turn influences others around us to do the same, it will make a big difference in the long run.

A. Make a list of what you need.

B. Be mindful when throwing away food.

C. This way, they won't go mushy easily.

D. Food waste mainly comes from how food is packaged.

E. You will be amazed by how much change one person can effect.

F. Do that a few nights a week, and you'll have a pile of leftover food.

G. A pantry will help you store more food and reduce food waste.
