It’s time for Change the World Wednesday hosted by Reduce Footprints.
This Week's Challenge:
In June of 2012 we joined Mrs. Green in her "Use It Up" challenge. It's one of those activities which bears repeating from time to time because food has a sneaky way of accumulating in our homes. More importantly, food waste is at an all time high ... it's bad for our finances and bad for the environment. So, Mrs. Green is doing a Half Term Challenge and we're invited to join her. Here you go ...
- Take a look through your fruit, vegetables and fresh items in the fridge to see what needs using up. Write it all down – it’s easier to keep track that way.
- Plan some of your favorite meals around the foods that need using up.
- If you need inspiration, write your food list on Mrs. Green's post (you'll find it HERE) and her community will help or ... check out the recipes section at Love Food Hate Waste.
- Enjoy some great meals, knowing you are saving money and protecting resources.
Are you ready to tackle this one? I know that you are!
Until next time ...
WE'RE CHANGING THE WORLD ... ONE CHALLENGE AT A TIME!

What will I do for this challenge you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. Not too much. haha! We are in the habit of only buying as many veggies as we need for meals and fruit that we’ll eat in a week. Therefore barely any of it goes to waste anyway. So if I was to do this challenge I wouldn’t find any veggies or fruit. I think it’s a great idea, just not one I can partake in. How about you thought?
Hi Kris ... welcome back to CTWW! :-) You've really hit on an important point ... only buying as much as we need. That seems like such a simple, obvious thing but it's so easy to buy too much ... especially when I hit the market and start seeing all the lovely fruits & veggies. I have to remind myself that they'll still be there next week and I'll enjoy "fresh" much more than "tired".
