I love potatoes. 🥔 For some reason, they are one of the most common fresh produce items that I find in dumpsters and on @olio.app 😮 usually it is because they are in plastic bags with an expiry date on them 🤦🏾‍♀️ so even if they are absolutely fine, they get chucked on that date. This is one of the many issues with plastic bagging fresh fruit and veggies. here are some of my recent #potato meals that I've made with my many #rescuedfood potatoes! 🥔 Stuffed baked potatoes 🥔 Spanish omelette/ frittata 🥔 Breakfast hash Also plenty of sides of mash, chips, and wedges.

To think these cuties would have gone to waste just because of their appearance! I picked up these peppers and some second choice tomatoes from the #farmersmarket today, which allows me to prevent food waste and save some $$! I’ll be making some gazpacho for lunch today with peppers, tomato, onion, cucumbers and some spices 😛😛 yum! #foodwasteisforchumps #savethefood • • • #lowimpactmovement #thelowimpactmovement #zerowaste #lowwaste #minimalwaste #wastefree #trashfree #plasticfree #nowaste #notrash #noplastic #reduce #reuse #recycle #repurpose #ecofriendly #sustainable #gogreen #yayforearth #reducewhatyouproduce #foodwaste #foodwastesucks #local #organic #bio #zerodechet (at Fort Greene Park)

I nearly broke my bicycle getting this HUGE load of #rescuedfood home this evening! 😵🤯🥖 I love that @olio.app exists for redistributing food to bellies instead of bins, but DEAR GOD this is an obscene amount of food. There is something seriously broken with the shops purchasing and stockings systems for this to be an acceptable amount of #foodwaste for a shop from just ONE DAY. This haul included: A full bin bag of pastries and croissants 🥐 18 bags of panini breads 7 bags of mini baguette 🥖 5 lemons 9 limes and a single mandarin 6 blueberry muffins 2 bags of custard doughnuts 9 packs of sushi 3 bags of salad 2 bags of chopped carrots and swede 1 bag chopped broccoli 3 whole cellophane covered broccoli 12 pairs of packaged avocados 10 loose avocados 4 loaves of bread 4 bags of pancakes 2 bags of cherry tomatoes 5 packs of ready chopped stir-fry veggies 2 packs of ham 1 container of egg mayonnaise 8 bananas 4 plastic boxes of pears inside bags A litre of milk Coleslaw Basil And probably more that I'm forgetting... How in the heck is a shop miscalculating their stock levels so much that this level of loss is not important to them? How on earth is our food system so flawed that we would rather see full shelves even if that food is nearly guaranteed to be wasted? I am glad that olio is stepping in to divert food from actually going to waste, but it absolutely should not be getting this far. 90% of this food was not even discounted to try and sell it. That is pure ludicrousness. #freegan #belliesnotbins #foodwastesucks #zerofoodwaste #zerowastegoals #zerowaste #lesswaste #zerowastedublin #zerowasteireland #zerowasteirl #foodrescue #oliofoodwastehero (at Dublin, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXHkiyANNty/?utm_medium=tumblr

Yesterday’s bruised tomatoes = today’s tomato sauce! I roasted a big batch of tomatoes with bulk spices like dried oregano, thyme, nutritional yeast and pepper 😛 seriously can’t wait to start making pizza with this! • • • #sustainableeatingoctober #greenroutine #zerowastestyle #zerowaste #wastefree #trashfree #trashisfortossers #plasticfree #nowaste #notrash #noplastic #reuse #reduce #recycle #repurpose #vegan #vegansofig #whatveganseat #healthy #healthyfoodporn #homemade #foodwastesucks #local #organic #tomatoes #tomatosauce #plantbased #eattherainbow @packagefreeshop @greenmatters (at Brooklyn, New York)

Why does my fridge shelf look empty right now? While it usually is due to the fact that I haven't gone food shopping for the week, today it's because I'm heading out of town for a few days! Whenever that happens, I make sure to eat up all of my perishables because #foodwastesucks. The coffee and overnight oats will be for breakfast; the tomato and some lentils for lunch before I leave 😊 • • • • #zerowaste #wastefree #trashfree #plasticfree #nowaste #notrash #noplastic #reuse #reduce #recycle #repurpose #fresh #local #produce #summer #tomato #locavore #eatlocal #vegan #whatveganseat #vegansofig #vegetarian #glutenfree #zerowastetips #eco #ecofriendly #sustainable #sustainablehome #sustainableliving #gogreen #yayforearth #goingzerowaste (at Brooklyn, New York)
