Maximizing Food Consumption Through Fridge Feng Shui
Behavioral scientist Jiaying Zhao suggests "feng shui-ing" your fridge to reduce food waste. By rearranging your food so that the most perishable items are most visible, you are more likely to remember to eat them before they spoil. Zhao recommends putting perishables in the doors and durable items in the drawers, using the "first in, first out" principle to prioritize older items. This small change in refrigerator organization can have a significant impact on reducing food waste, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and is costly for households.
