How to make our home more sustainable, starting in the kitchen.
Without proper air circulation, you’ll quickly be left with sad-looking food.
As a result, my grocery outings had to become more frequent and my selections even more intentional.
Naked greens, for example, will rapidly dry out as water evaporates from their leaves.
Super simple and delicious.
Without a full-size oven, we saved electricity and a swath of heat within our tiny space.
A hidden gem for food waste prevention!
Meet-in-the-middle solution: The first meal or two after we got back from shopping was made from a recipe.
This way, I had some essentials in each category but also had room to rotate new flavors.
And that respect naturally extends to savoring the entire plant and squandering none of it.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of your time, energy, water, soil, and love.
And I’m so happy to have found these guiding principles for lower-waste living along the way.
