    I never use straws or paper cups. When it comes to shopping, I bring cloth bags to pack my food in. Saves on using plastic.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Zero-waste Cooking
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

    I use a juicer to extract as much nutrients from fruits and vegetables, which reduces waste.
