Food waste is ahuge problem. 16 Here are ways to reduce food waste. 17 Many of us blindly throw things that look novel into the shopping baskets and then let them sit in the fridge until they go bad. So before shopping, think about exactly what you need for the week, make a detailed shopping list to prevent overbuying and stick to it. Get creative with repurposing food. Before walking straight to the bin with your old carrots, ask yourself: Can I make this into something new? 18 You neednt follow any complicated (复杂的) recipes to turn older produce into a fresh new dish. Just use your head to make the best of it. For example, roast the carrots as a side dish or cut them for a salad. Your freezer is your friend. If youre unable to use food before its too late, turn to the trusty freezer. Freezing food helps lock in its flavor (风味) and nutrients (营养). So next time you find perfect strawberries for your summer picnic, dont throw the leftovers. 19 Dont be fooled by that “sell by” date. Typically, these labels are a best guess by businesses as to when their products will be finest. Theyre not hard-and-fast rules about when that cheese has to go straight to the bin. Theyre about quality, not about food safety. Next time you do a sweep of your storeroom, remember that. 20 If it doesnt pass, turn to the bin.A. Make an advance plan.B. The answer is probably yes.C. When in doubt, do a smell test.D. Add up what you let go to waste.E. The good news: Each of us can help solve it.F. They may end up in landfills and produce greenhouse gases.G. Instead, bag and put them in the freezer in case you want them. 1-3 CCD 4-7.BCDB 8-11ABCC 12-15.A DCC 1620 EABGC
