Marifer's actions
Community
Volunteer to Rescue Food
I will volunteer 2 hours to support existing community food waste reduction and recovery efforts like gleaning or for a food bank.
Cooking
Save the Peels
When life gives me lemons (or other citrus peels), I will use the rinds to make a nontoxic cleaner.
Storage
Properly Store Veggie Snacks
I will put carrots and celery in jars filled with water to keep them fresh, crisp, and easy to grab for up to a week. I will properly store 1 veggie snacks.
Cooking
Cook From Snout to Tail
I will try a recipe that utilizes parts of an animal that are typically wasted (skin, bones, organs, etc.).
Shopping
Buy From A Farmers Market
I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 1 meals.

Marifer Lopez 8/19/2024 6:57 AMMy tree gave lots of plums this year, I was beginning to get pretty nervous just thinking that all of them would go to waste. But I had the great idea to share and distribute the plums to the members of my church. I am happy that those plums did not go to waste! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Volunteer to Rescue FoodHow will you volunteer your time? What was your experience like volunteering and what did you learn?
Marifer Lopez 8/19/2024 6:48 AMI volunteered at The Food Group where I helped repackaged 2 pallets of cucumbers to redistribute people in need. I learned that there is a machine that focuses on wrapping pallets. I also learned how to wrap a pallet by hand without a machine. -
