Challenge Tips

Reflect and Plan Ahead for Continued Success

Reflection helps build lasting behavior change. Looking back on and celebrating a goal you achieved can motivate you to continue to improve. You just spent the past 9 days thinking about and taking action to prevent food waste. You deserve a pat on the back for your commitment to sustainability!

Your Action for Tonight

Journal about one thing you did differently during this challenge that reduced waste. When you pause to reflect and write down a specific action — like repurposing leftovers — you’re more likely to make it stick.

Next, write down what you will continue to do to prevent food waste after this challenge ends.

This small action helps shift your mindset from intention to action. Seeing your progress written out — even one simple act per week — can be motivating and empowering, especially when the bigger problem of waste feels overwhelming.

Congratulations on completing the Food Rescue Challenge! We hope you discovered helpful tools to prevent food waste in your household. Every effort counts!
