Daily Measures:Food and Packaging WasteAnna Mirabella2/4/15
+Step 1
Complained about feeding myself for the past 2 years Portions in stores aren’t meant for 1 person I knew I wasn’t recycling food packaging well
Chose to log my wasted food and food packaging thrown out
The action itself was a reminder to photograph
Brainstorming/Choosing a Topic
+
Step 2Data CollectionPosted pictures to a Tumblr account
+Step 3
Thought there may be trends or cycles
Some waste repeated everyday
Looked at how many “things” I bought versus how many pieces were wasted
More food waste or packaging waste overall?

Waste (Products)
A waste product is the thing you buy and the pieces are the individual parts with it
Ex. A cereal box is 1 product, but the cardboard box and plastic bag make it 2 pieces

Food Waste
+Step 4
Environmental If I don’t eat it it goes to waste or expires Packaging lifespan vs. food lifespan
Financially Wasted food is wasted money Likely spending more on foods with more packaging
Emotionally (?) This assignment made me guilty about my habits
Sustainability
+Step 5
Marty Siegel look at the next small step rather than the end goal
My current behavior Impulse buys at the grocery store Centered around convenience Picky about expiration dates
Small changes I can make Buying in bulk Buying more sustainably packaged products Switch to a reusable K-cup Thinking about what I will use throughout the week
Will also help keep meals balanced
How can I change my behavior?
+Step 6
Target my behavior at the grocery store Dictates my actions throughout the week Think about what I really need
Applicable to other aspects of my behavior
A design to change my behavior
+Design: Calendar
+Design: CalendarEx. If I buy a two pack of salmon
+Design: CalendarEx. If I buy a box of cereal
+How does it help?
Forces me to think about how much I am getting out of a product Packaging: not worth it unless at
least 2-3 times
Makes sure I don’t buy more than I need to Less food will go bad from being
unused
Makes sure what I buy will be used up that week If I plan when I’ll eat it it is less
likely to go bad
+Reflection
More mindful of my waste
Doing what I know I should have been doing all along
Thinking of the next small step
What I Learned
