Kerrie's actions
Food
Locally-Sourced Meals
I will source 2 meal(s) each day from local producers.
Food
Reduce Animal Products
I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
Food
Zero-Waste Cooking
I will cook 2 meal(s) with zero-waste each day
Waste
Compost Food Waste
I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.
Health
Go get a check up
I will make an appointment for my annual physical.
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Create Your Own Action
Supporting Literacy
I will support the literacy efforts of my local schools, educators, and neighbors by maintaining and stewarding a Little Free Library, making 25-30 new books available to the public every week, with additional titles during holidays and events.
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Zero-Waste CookingIn 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?
Kerrie Seeber 10/04/2018 5:20 PMHonestly, I've often left those parts on by choice, especially when cooking something like a vegetable stew. They add texture to the stew (especially root vegetables), and often contain lots of vitamins. If you do choose to remove those parts, they can easily be added to a batch of soup stock that will ultimately be strained before use. -
