Would you like to overhaul your spending and become more eco-conscious? A good place to start is the food you prepare. Food waste is a global problem, both financially and environmentally. According to the FAO, one-third of all food produced worldwide gets lost or wasted in the food production and consumption systems, amounting to 1.3 billion tonnes. 

There are so many reasons to be less wasteful. By embracing a low-waste lifestyle, you're: 

• taking more gentle steps on the earth
• saving money, 
• living with less clutter (which can reduce anxiety and feeling overwhelmed) 
• becoming more mindful of how to utilize the earth's resources.

Eating out too often, or consuming too many packaged foods can make healthy eating a challenge. So, why not step back into the kitchen by re-learning (or learning) the basics of home cooking?
