Food waste is a big problem that harms the environment. Researchers tested different messages to see which ones work best in getting people to reduce food waste at home. They found that saying "reduce waste" is the most effective message. Other messages like "don't waste" or "stop waste" didn't work as well. They also looked at different consequences of food waste, like economic or environmental impacts, but none of them made a big difference. Combining different messages and tips didn't always help either. So, sometimes less information is better when it comes to fighting food waste.
