  • 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?

    Choosing the right "color" of LED made a difference. I had to shop to get a bright color. Still using less energy.

      I always feel like I have the opposite problem. Most LEDs I find in stores are are way too white bright for my tastes. I want that yellowy glow.
