Reflection QuestionCommunity Give the Gift of ExperiencesWhat did you give as a gift? Do you think the recipient has ever received a gift like this before? What did they think of it?
Kristina Kvarnlov-Leverty 5/12/2021 5:30 PMRather than give my mother a mother's day gift, we went for a walk and had dinner together. -
Kristina Kvarnlov-Leverty 5/12/2021 5:23 PMI have been realizing that to really go as close to zero waste as possible, eating fruits and vegetables and healthy grains is key. I am curious are there ways, other than making it yourself, for accessing dairy-free "dairy products" locally that has less plastic waste? I have been noticing more "yogurts" that are in glass. are there dairy-free milk options in glass or compostable containers? -
Reflection QuestionAt Home Complete a Waste AuditWhat did you learn about the waste you create? Where can you reduce the most?
Kristina Kvarnlov-Leverty 5/05/2021 7:44 AMI am noticing that other than dog pee training and dog food. My major waste creator is quick and easy food and beverages. If I choose to snack on chips and similar snacky foods and drink pop, mineral water, etc. That is where my waste is coming from. Take out bags and containers too. When I cook at home, eat and drink healthier, my waste decreases significantly. But I am also cleaning out old papers and materials from work and that has also lead to a lot of recycling waste. How can I reduce word related waste? And I need to work on changing my diet. There are lower or zero waste stress foods. (:
