【题目】 For many, holiday celebrations mean large meals shared with family and friends, but such feasts can generate huge amounts of food waste, harming the environment and overusing natural resources—unless mindful merrymakers take steps to control the amount. 1

Be mindful of what you already have

Try keeping food in glass jars. Using this method, you can make all the food in your kitchen visible, easily remembered and consumed. 2. Nothing gets lost in the back of a shelf.

3

Stick to a planned holiday menu before heading to the grocery store. A clear idea of who will be gathered and exactly how much food to prepare will save a lot of tossing out later. Be mindful not just of how much to purchase, but the items themselves.

Use leftovers wisely

It may be impossible to get everyone into the clean plate club. 4 Freeze and repurpose leftovers by using them as basic ingredients for other recipes or send extras home with guests.

Keep track of the scraps(残羹)

Along with turkey bones, use holiday scraps such as vegetables, meat and fish bones to make soup. For pet-safe dishes, allow your dog to clean plates before putting them in the dishwasher.

Consider composting(堆肥)

5 . These materials can be composted, which will keep them out of landfills, where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

A.Shop smart

B.Plan a menu

C.That doesn't mean leftover food has to go waste

D.Some of your family or guests may not like the food
