How to Save Food

An estimated 36 million tonnes of food is wasted in Pakistan every year. This is equivalent to every citizen of Karachi, Lahore and Hyderabad tossing out entire lunches and dinners every day. Food wastage contributes to a world wide epidemic that poses a real threat to our future.
Although nothing can be done to solve this crisis overnight, steps taken at an individual level as an average citizen of this country can make a difference, even if it's a small one.
Food wastage can be reduced by a number of ways:

1. Plan exact meals that you will have throughout the week (it does require some time and effort but is an easy enough habit to fall into)
2. Not overbuy groceries and only purchase items you know you will use. Often times we buy things we might use but end up throwing it away after expiration.
3. Composting is also an amazing and environmentally friendly way to reduce food wastage. Simple tutorials on how to start composting using merely a bucket and cloth can be found on YouTube: (6:55-8:40) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYBTZ1DQ3pI
4. Get creative with leftovers. Give them to the servants present in the house, the guards outside, any nearby place which accepts donations, or workers. Left over food can even be given to cats and dogs which is still a better alternative then letting it go to waste.

We hope you take our suggestions into account and try and implement some of the methods we have mentioned.
