let's make sure that we're not generating food waste and eating or taking more than we can eat so food waste is a huge problem it generates 20 of wisconsin's landfills and it releases methane which is a main contributor to global warming so our goal is to reduce food waste um before it gets to be a problem in the first place so how we do that we eat family style here which means you want to make sure they're only taking enough for you to eat and you're making sure that everyone at your table get
s the chance to eat so mark can't take all of the english muffins and abby can't take all the sausage patties you gotta next time make sure it gets around to everybody first you can always get seconds later also we have our milk cartons out and trays hoppers get a count of the people that want milk at your table and you can grab a tray and load it up with milk and bring it back for the table so go ahead grab some milk are these all for you yeah we want to make sure we're only having one carton o
f milk out of each meal oh that makes sense there you go now everyone needs to know [Music] cereal i'm hungry i want seconds you all can get sentence you know that right hopper needs to go around all the other tables first and ask them if they have any extra and then if they don't then you need to come back to your table and ask how many people want extras and then you can go up to the cooks and you'll tell them we have 30 people who want english muffins or something like that and then they'll g
et you that so just make sure that you are only taking what you are going to eat for your plate and you know exactly how many people want techniques but that's how you can get sandwiches all right you went to every other table first yes do you know how many people want extra no all right you better get that number great got your number yes all right you're good to go all right make sure you're helping out send it down to your screen so your screen doesn't have to go to the other end of the table
that can just come right up and grab it that's a lot of cereal there you should make sure you're only taking what you're gonna eat okay make sure you tell your table that too you guys had too much food ways all right so our last meal we had one pound and two ounces of food waste for this meal we had a drum roll please one pound of food waste so we beat our goal nice job everyone all right now that we learned a lot about food waste what are some ways you think you can eliminate food waste back h
ome eat leftovers yeah so if you have leftovers make sure you're eating them leave a grocery list making a grocery list so make sure you're not buying more food that you're gonna eat yeah so labeling things like your leftovers so you know when they're gonna go bad wow
