In that case, do yourself a favor and throw it away now before it starts growing something.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it\u2019s customary to purchase ingredients for your mealtime cravings, this practice often results in more food pushed to the forgotten-about back of your shelves. This food is eventually wasted, contributing to the <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ajae.12036\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">32% of food waste occurring at the household level.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one\u2019s a twofer: not only are you decreasing demand on the food system by using what you\u2019ve got, but by cleaning up your pantry, fridge, and freezer, you can clearly see what\u2019s in there. No more sacrificing sauces, syrups, and leftovers to the hands of time! If you can see the food in front of you, there\u2019s a much lower chance of it going bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Need some pantry shopping tips?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head over to your virtual friend <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.openai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a>, type in the ingredients you have on hand and ask for recipes you can make with those ingredients.

You may still need to buy an ingredient at the store, but steadily decreasing the size of your pantry will have a HUGE impact on your food waste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Pledge to Reduce your Food Waste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air and sky were unsettling last week in the northeast.
