Art to Change the World Climate Action Team

The salad has gotten to the point where some of it decaying. Nothing a good soak and cleaning won't help. Took the last of our salad and left over veggies combined the veggies to a soup base and placed the clean salad on the side to eat along with my soup. Saving remanences of veggies is wat we do best.

Managed to cook just enough for a group of 14 on a camping trip, no waste!

I persuaded my family to wash and eat up a whole bunch of almost-done strawberries instead of tossing them today. They tasted great.

Hello , I took all of the foods from my refrigerator and those items that were old I placed in our compost pile. Not much waste but it is still nice to have it going back into the earth by composting.

Family vacation is tricky for this challenge, not because we're wasting food, but because I'm not in charge.

My husband and I love to order entrees to share at restaurants. Did that today, no leftovers to take home!

It's tough with kids (nieces and nephews) who are rampant food-wasters, but it's nice that there's a dog to eat up what they leave on their plates!

I often seem to be visiting my parents' during the first week of this challenge; I'm always inspired by the ways my mother raised us all on avoiding food waste. She uses leftovers, rotates her fridge, keeps grocery lists. It's harder when there are big groups and grandkids, but it's nice to be around mindful people!

"What was I thinking!" Working on this food inventory is showing me there are certain things I can't live without and there are some things I think I need and I don't use as much at as much as I thought... for example the large bag of diced celery has been waiting for use for some time now and since it's not soup, whether I realize...

Just getting started on the challenge and inviting/re-inviting team members! Right now my kitchen is kind of messy and that is detrimental to food prep and definitely makes me not want to focus in the kitchen, however, little by little, I'm getting organized and hoping that the food waste challenge will be an inspiration!
