I have really enjoyed this year's Ecochallenge! I have especially enjoyed challenging myself in recycling and composting as much as possible at home, and sharing as many books and materials as possible with my neighborhood!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food

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?
Kerrie Seeber 10/04/2018 5:20 PM
Honestly, 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.
