The Washington Department of Ecology is embarking on a holiday edition of its “Use Food Well” food waste prevention campaign. Launched in April, the initiative focuses on preventing food waste through simple steps like smart shopping, meal planning, and proper food storage, with the ultimate goal of halving food waste by 2030.
Since the holidays are peak season for food going to waste, Ecology has added holiday food saving tips to its campaign. The department is partnering with celebrity chef Joel Gamoran and his company Homemade to share holiday-leftover inspired recipes and provide tips on how to save money through proper storage and creative cooking.
