How might we reduce food waste for the youth living in Wisconsin?

# data[].attributes.body
My project is necessary because many people often throw out fresh food that could be saved and eaten at another time. I often find many students at my school throwing out perfectly good food they haven't eaten.

The root cause of this is that many people in my community often do not care or are ignorant about the foods they throw out that could be saved.

My project addresses or works to solve this by educating and informing the students in my school about the importance of not wasting food and how they can change their food habits to save food instead of throwing it out.

My first SMART Goal is to educate and inform at least 10 students in my school by creating a presentation and hands-on examples that teaches students how to change their food wasting habits by May 2nd, 2024.

My second SMART Goal is to have a lasting impact on the students who were educated about wasting food by sending the students who attended the presentation a survey whether their food wasting habits changed about a month after the presentation, which is on June 2nd, 2024.

The first step will be to research information about food waste and create a presentation summarizing my research. I will need to think of how I'm going to present my information and how I will create my hands-on example so that it is engaging and easy to understand.

Time: I will start step one on September 1st, 2023
and complete step one on December 1st, 2023.

Resources: I will need research and information to complete this step.

The second step will be to create my presentation and hands-on example. Then, I will need to spread awareness that my event is happening. I will do this by reaching out to clubs in my school that care about changing food wasting habits and have them contact their members to let them know my event is going to happen on May 2nd, 2024.

Time: I will start step two on December 2nd, 2023
and complete step two on May 1st, 2024.

Resources: I will need materials for my hands-on example and my school's club members to complete this step.

The third step will be to present my presentation on food wasting habits and how people can change them. After my presentation, I will gather the emails of everyone that attended, and a month later, I will send out a survey asking them if their food wasting habits changed.

Time: I will start step three on May 2nd, 2024
and complete step three on June 2nd, 2024

Resources: I will need my computer to create the survey and email it to people who attended my presentation to complete this step.
