Into the Driver's Seat

With delicacies at our fingertips and recipes beyond our wildest imagination, food can be recycled from scraps. Reducing our food consumption starts small. The key is to use bright tips to convert leftovers into something edible so as to prevent an excess of food wastage while helping to save the environment. In recent years, food consumption footprint has taken the globe by a storm, and hence there is a rising need to fix our bad habit and stop allowing our earth to bear the brunt of our decisions.

I think that food waste can be reduced in Singapore. After all, as a small country, measures to reduce food waste can be implemented more effectively as the population is more concentrated. While not many people are enthusiastic about eating unusual parts of an animal to reduce food waste, I think that simpler measures such as buying the appropriate amount of food to be eaten within their shelf life is a basic and simple means to reduce food waste. Such a measure helps people to understand how much food they really need and remind them not to buy too much food, resulting in food waste, and can also help them to reduce the amount of money spent on food to be used in other areas.
