1.3 Refusing

Unit 3

Task

Bring in 4 items from the fridge or pantry that you think could soon go bad.

Discuss with participants why you think the item could go bad, and what you could do to make it last longer.

When everyone is done, have the group come up with creative ways to repurpose the items so they don‘t
go to waste.

For example, if you bring in a bunch of bananas that are about to go bad, have the group think of ways they
could use them: banana smoothies, banana bread, banana pancakes, etc.

After everyone is done brainstorming, have each person take a turn explaining how they could refuse food
waste in the future.

Examples could include being mindful of portion sizes, eating leftovers, planning meals ahead of time, buying in bulk, and using up food before it goes bad.

Finally, have the group come up with a set of rules for the household or workplace to reduce food waste.
