    Waste Compost Food Waste
    New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? Do you know how your compost will be used and the benefits it has on the environment?

    Hey, this challenge was fun! I had hoped to have more time but October is a tough month for me. Still, it was good to be mindful about food and media consumption... the busier we get, the less mindful we get about these specific things.

    Health Go get a check up
    How do you practice self care?
    Holly DeGrow 10/24/2018 5:03 PM
    Well, I’m not too good at this, but it’s important for me to regularly go to the dentist, as that is my main health issue. I try to get better sleep, not stress so much about work, take time to hang out with friends, and do a little reading every night before bed.

    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An 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. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?
    Taylor Griffith 10/24/2018 11:08 AM
    I would rather put this money back into savings and invest it into a savings account with a high earning interest rate.

    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?
    Taylor Griffith 10/24/2018 11:05 AM
    If you're using apples and peeling them, you can freeze the skins for later. Carrot tops are good for making a pesto sauce. Anything citrus you can use the peels to make marmalade or zests.

    Food Choose Organic Ingredients
    Can organic farming feed the world? Which side of the argument do you fall on? Why?

    There are so many fruits and vegetables. Natural selection is a great way for farmers to  weed out crops with  bad Gene's so that future yields will be able to. withstand the environments.
