Читать книгу Zero Waste Cooking For Dummies - Rosanne Rust - Страница 60

Keep in mind as you work through your zero waste journey that it’s about small steps and progress. Despite the title of this book, I don’t expect you to be 100 percent waste-free. Zero waste cooking may be 20 percent waste cooking some days and 5 percent waste cooking others. That’s okay! Nobody’s perfect. Every little effort counts, and the goal is to move in the right direction of reducing, reusing, and recycling more often. Just do your best!

Like any meaningful change in your behavior, zero waste cooking takes effort. You may sometimes buy food on a whim and not take time to store it properly, or ignore spoiling food in the refrigerator and throw out what smells the worst on garbage night. It may feel easier to do that rather than to perform weekly fridge checks, create a food waste plan for shopping, come up with a food storage plan, compost, and use up leftovers. However, like any positive change you make in your life, the rewards are almost always worth the effort. This book is here to help you establish eco-friendly behaviors even when you’re busy.
