# A Cool Airy Place to Suit Hardy Vegetables and Fruit

Fight Food Waste in the home chart no. 8: a woman at a three-tier slatted storage rack of fruit, cabbage, onions and potatoes, beside three cartoon vegetables with captions about the blackout and warmth. The technique is faint: a housewife's kitchen and joking vegetables make the storage advice familiar.
