Even if you aren't ready to completely eliminate food waste from your routine, just think about what you are throwing away. Not just leftovers, but old fruit and vegetables, a box of crackers at the back of your cupboard, dairy hitting it's expiry dates or even old coffee!
I hope I can share what we do in my house to keep our waste under control, but for now just be keep in mind how much we thrown away mindlessly.
Every morning I wake up and drink the last couple cups of coffee from the day before. At some point we will figure out exactly how much we need to make, but for now a little more sweetener makes it taste just fine.
If you have plants you can use the old coffee yo water them. Plants love coffee. And gardens looooove coffe grounds. When I worked at Starbucks we saved the grounds in the summer and had a big bin by the door where people could just help themselves. They were usually gone before you could get the bags in the bucket.
