During my meal prep I can incorporate using every part of the vegetable by not shaving any skins and including the entire vegetable in my meal. I will not cut any stems off either.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodIn 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?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?
Jackson LaSure 4/25/2018 9:58 AMThis money is being wasted every year and instead of wasting it I would like to start having a zero waste mind set and save money and put it towards things that my family needs money for like my sisters wedding. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONTransportTake a moment to think of places you frequent often (work, grocery store, natural areas). Could you choose one or two days a week to schedule driving with a friend, neighbor or co-worker to these places?
Jackson LaSure 4/24/2018 10:03 AMYes I drive to biscuit head every Thursday morning and we go with a group of older kids that can drive and I could get a ride from them each time.
