During this week, other than reducing my quantity of my food on my plates (I have wrote about this in my previous entry), I also do some research on how to avoid wastage of food as a student.
One of The Articles Found:

The tips in reducing food waste are:
- Take it home
- Eat leftovers first
- Don't overbuy
- Donate
The first tip which is 'Take It Home' is very effective as I just pay 20¢ for a biodegradable plastic container and got to take my leftover food back to hostel. By using this method, I can kill two birds using one stone which are cost-wise and avoid producing food waste.
For the second tip, 'Eat Leftovers First', of course I would do it to avoid my leftovers from spoilt. This way, I bought lesser than I usually did and thus, I practically applied the third tip as well which is 'Don't Overbuy'. This three tips are very doable and simple yet cost effective and food waste preventable.
Even by doing these, I still face some failure where I had to dispose my leftover since I sometimes, still full from earlier meal and did not finished my leftovers. Also, the amount of food served is just too much since I sometimes ordered fried dish which I just cannot predict the amount.
Therefore, I need to come up with solution for next meals.😕
