How to make your bin empty
First of all, you can create a weekly menu. You write every dinner, lunch and snack on the menu. If you want to prepare a special lunch, don't forget to write every ingredient and the quantity. Check what you already have. Like this, if you do it for example every Monday, you will always have what you need, not too much and not too old. You will not waste anything; moreover, you will gain time to prepare your lunch because you know before what you eat.
For the second, you can tidy your refrigerator. You put in first the oldest and in the last, the most recent. It's for eating first what will become old first. You will not waste anything because you will not forget any food in your fridge. And you won't buy something that you already have in your refrigerator.
For the third, you can use food which is beginning to be old to cook an other dishes. If a fruit become old or spoilt, you can use it to make a compote. For the vegetables, you can bake them or do a gratin. For a yogurt, you can make a cake. But for meat, it's good to use the second and the first suggestions.

Hello, I just read your blog and I find it very interesting. I totally agree with you because it is true that nowadays we waste a lot of food and we have to do something about it. We have to find ways of decreasing food waste, which also involves wasting many other things. I think your suggestions are really simple and useful and could therefore be put into action by anybody. They are also helpful in other aspects of everyday life such as knowing what to cook. I hope other people also find it as useful as I did,
