I wanted to share one strategy I have to reduce my kitchen waste. I also find that it saves me money and keeps me eating well. I buy different grains in bulk at Costco, or bulk bin areas like in [Berkeley, California's] Berkeley Bowl. I like this for a number of reasons: it saves energy since I buy in bulk, less packaging and fewer trips to the store, it’s a good value, and I think Costco as well as Berkeley Bowl are respectable companies so I don’t mind handing over some cash to them.

Keeping different grains in bulk is easy since they have a long shelf life –I have never had to throw these out because I didn’t cook it up in time. Depending on what other odds and ends I have around: veggies, leftover meat, nuts, sun dried tomatoes, etc. I can have fun making yummy hot cereals, grain filled salads, stews, and basically anything I feel like. Grains cook fast, so I always know that I can make a healthful meal in 15-20 minutes even when “we don’t have anything in the fridge.”

I like how Reuse Roundup is a community-based, not-for-profit organization that helps to reduce waste and promotes reusing items. I hope the program will succeed in reducing the amount of trash in our environment and make us more aware of how we can use things we already have. Go to SMB Cyber Security Memphis for more useful ideas. Reuse Roundup is also helpful because it reduces waste by reducing packaging, which means that less products go into landfills than would if there was no recycling process in place.
