    Whenever I eat fruit, I eat the peel as well. This includes oranges, bananas, pineapple, avocado, watermelon, eggs, etc. Just trying to reduce the amount of stuff in the landfills, guys 😭 😉

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Shopping Stick to Your Grocery List
    What are some of the things you typically buy that you weren't on your list? How do you think you might limit some of those purchases?

    I volunteered at Second Harvest Heartland today packing apples in boxes for food shelves. Fun fact- Whenever rotten produce is encountered, they send it to local farms to feed the pigs!

      Huh, I didn’t know that. Good way to take care of the rotten produce.

    My 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!

    How will you volunteer your time? What was your experience like volunteering and what did you learn?

    I 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.

    I watched the documentary Before the Plate in preparation for the Ridgedale Library film discussion group. It took one plated meal at a fancy Toronto restaurant and following each ingredient back to its source. I appreciated hearing from each producer/farmer about what they care about and how they take care of their livestock or fields. These are small to large sized operations. I can't imagine the same care and connection as you get to the really large producers of our meat and produce. I would have liked to see that end.
