My Second Week of MANGETOUT MOMENTUM

Hello, 👋

this is the second week for my mangetout momentum.
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.




The tips in reducing food waste are:

  1. Take it home
  2. Eat leftovers first
  3. Don't overbuy
  4. 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.😕
