Did you know that Canadians waste $31 billion worth of food each year? That means almost half of all the food in Canada goes out with the trash, and the energy that was used to grow, pick, package and transport is totally wasted too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s really easy to accidentally let food to go waste \u2013 like the grated cheese that\u2019s growing fuzz or lettuce that\u2019s turned into goo at the back of the fridge. But with some planning, we can cut back on the amount of food we waste! We\u2019re challenging you to master one of these three food-saving skills:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reuse parts of food that you usually throw away. You can turn potato skins&nbsp;into chips, or make a soup base from the bones of your roasted chicken!<\/li><li>Multicoloured tissue paper, or newspaper (for your&nbsp;fishies!)<\/li><li>Make a meal out of leftovers. Omelets are a great breakfast hack for this: just&nbsp;toss in what didn\u2019t get eaten the night before! And homemade pizza with&nbsp;leftover meats and veggies as toppings for dinner!!<\/li><li>Reorganize your fridge so that you can see everything inside. Put the \u201coldest\u201d&nbsp;food at the front so it\u2019s eaten first and not forgotten!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to snap a pic of your family tackling one (or all!!) of these food-saving tasks and tag us on social media so we can celebrate all the saved bites from the trash bin!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=363709&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.earthrangers.com%2Fget-the-app%2F%25E2%2580%258B&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=a83893f16335ad494c1f2fefd476abb8460bc09f21306e06ecf6a37e06e7e970\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"148\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/FWW.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/FWW.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/FWW-300x74.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-themepunch-revslider revslider\" data-modal=\"false\" data-slidertitle=\"Daily Activity Get App Footer\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"rs-p-wp-fix\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<sr7-module data-alias=\"daily-get-app-footer\" data-id=\"146\" id=\"SR7_146_1\" class=\"rs-ov-hidden\" data-version=\"6.7.54\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-adjuster><\/sr7-adjuster>\n\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-content>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-slide id=\"SR7_146_1-206\" data-key=\"206\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<sr7-txt id=\"SR7_146_1-206-0\" class=\"sr7-layer\">The Earth Rangers App is where kids go to save animals!
