REFLECTION QUESTIONFood, Agriculture, and Land UseAn average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Where would you rather use this money?
Patrick Shamel 10/30/2023 2:40 PMI'd rather it go into a savings account and then at the end of each year use that for something I wouldn't normally spend it on. Fresh herbs are a big, expensive problem, can never use all of it (e.g. a recipe calls for such a small amount) before they go bad. Need to start freezing them in ice cube trays for future use.-

REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityWhat is one way to save energy around your home?
Patrick Shamel 10/30/2023 2:23 PMAvoiding using the furnace or AC (when applicable) whenever possible is a monumental way to save energy. Keeping blinds drawn/windows closed during the day in summer, wearing warm clothes in winter. -

Anan Srivilai 10/30/2023 8:05 AMSaw this post "How does knowing the difference between use by, sell by, and best by dates empower you to make better decisions?" and thought it was a good way to remember to use your ingredients as I always forget about some of the stuff I have until it goes bad.-
Patrick Shamel 10/30/2023 2:46 PMEggs used to always make me leery of going past the date on the carton, but you can do the "float test" to determine if they're still good. I've "saved" some eggs from the trash that might have otherwise been thrown out by doing the test.
