    Food, Agriculture, and Land Use Zero-waste Cooking
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for utilizing every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable, including the skins, tops, and stalks during your next meal prep?

    Well for example, with a potato you can refrain from peeling it and keeping the skin. The skin is better for you anyhow.

    For my first car and home that I buy, I want them both to be energy efficient. I want my car to be electric and my home to be self-sufficient through the use of solar power.

    It feels good, I mean it's more effort and I can be a little sweaty upon arrival of where I'm going but usually not too bad.
