    If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or composted, then it should be restricted, designed or removed from production

    Father Thomas Berry says, "...our primary purpose is celebration. Celebration of the dawn and the sunset and the different seasons of the year is a religious ritual, a way in which humans can establish their integral relationship with the universe, with the planet Earth." Respond to Berry's assertion.

    Bringing your own bags and containers to the grocery store, and even to restaurants for leftovers, are a couple of ways to reduce your waste. What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    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?

    Zero-waste cooking is exactly what it sounds like
    This starts with reducing the amount of food so that you're ideally only stocking ingredients that you will actually use and serving in quantities that will be consumed.

    Transportation Quotes. “Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost.” “You can't understand a city without using its public transportation system.” “Walking is the only form of transportation in which a man proceeds erect - like a man - on his own legs, under his own power.
