Janice's actions
Food
Locally-Sourced Meals
I will source 1 meal(s) each day from local producers.
Waste
Find Local Recycling Depots
I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
Food
Weekly Meal Planning
I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Nature
Enjoy the Sunrise/Sunset
I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

Janice Gintzler 9/04/2018 5:21 PMHave been a vegan for seven years and a vegetarian for 27 year before that. Took two totally enclosed composters to my church, so hopefully, I will use this compost next year on our church garden.
Donated a kidney on my 65th birthday.
I recycle to raise mission money for my church. If a plastic item does not have a number on it, I write to the company to ask what kind of plastic the item is. Ippolito Foods liked my letter and sent me a huge reusable bag in reply, and the answer to my question. One quandry: the wire item that holds that spinach or other green, with a tag with the grower's name on it. I was told that they are #6. But they do not look like Styrofoam. So I am loathe to put them into my #6 recycling container. During this challenge I will pursue this question of both the wired part and the tag and how to recycle these items.
