By less, make a meal plan for couple or three days and buy that, use it and do little shops at the time, less waste food and money saving too...The major problem is restaurants, it should be a law where somehow good left over foods, the ones that can be saved, should be picked up by an organization to be used in pies, and this pies could be frozen and deliver to places in need, even to third world countries, where starvation is a huge problem...The government is just too lazy. Its just easy to say there is no enough food in the world and the world is over populated, well, how about we start to not waste food, eat less, less weight problems, and more happy people.

In addition to the smell, these are really bad greenhouse gases. The point is that food waste CAN be avoided. The first step is to learn more about what we are throwing out, then we can do something about it. Preventing food waste starts when you go shopping and continues at home in the way you store, cook and use food. First of all, it is very important to have a well stocked kitchen - especially of the essentials. Much of the food we waste comes from 'perishables' - things like fruit, vegetables and dairy products. In the landfill, rotting food decomposes to make methane and other gases.
