eat corn on the cob raw.

today we will

eat corn on the cob raw.
WHY Corn is a summer favorite, but cooking it uses water and/or energy. Luckily, it's delicious raw. We will reduce water/energy waste by eating corn raw.

HOW Instead of cooking corn before eating it, we can chuck it, wash it, and then eat it...sans cooking.

choose plants over stems.

today we will

choose plants over stems.
WHY Unlike plants, loose stems don't last long after purchase. In landfills they breakdown, releasing methane. We will reduce methane emissions by choosing plants.

HOW If we want to buy ourselves or someone else flowers, choose a nice planted option instead of loose flower or plant stems. Then, keep it alive.
From the Community

A few requests for more info on why going to farmer's markets later could help reduce food waste.

Our Answer: The tip rests in the idea that people tend to buy the most "attractive" produce first, leaving "ugly" produce behind, which continues to be left behind until it goes bad and gets tossed. The hope is that, by going later, we can more easily identify produce at risk of being left behind because no one wanted it all day, and buy the produce that might have otherwise been tossed and not saves for later sale.

ask for no salad/bowl lid.

today we will

ask for no salad/bowl lid.
WHY We consume hundreds of millions of tons of plastic a year. Now, it's in our oceans and food chain. We will help save our food chain by asking for no salad lid.

HOW When ordering a salad or bowl at a fast-casual restaurant, like Chipotle, ask for no lid. If they say they can't do that for to-to orders, we can just say it's to stay.*
