I will plan an Eat the Leftovers night by creating a tasty “smorgasbord" or using a recipe that repurposes leftovers. I will eat 4 meals using leftovers.

I will buy locally grown food from my grocery store and make 1 meal(s).

I will track the food that my household of 2 throws out so I can learn what we're wasting and why.

Learn new ways to cook with leftovers

I will learn about food labels and not throw food out just based on the date on the package, but instead check the smell and color to see if it has gone bad.

I will only purchase the items on my grocery list and avoid impulse purchases.

I will try 1 root-to-leaf recipes, which utilize all parts of the vegetable, such as beet greens, carrot tops, and herb stems.

Help us educate Mill City Farmers Market visitors about compostable plastics, manage composting stations and collect data for the Zero Waste program! Everyone from Master Recyclers to beginners are welcome and encouraged to participate in our efforts by volunteering as a Zero Waste Educator. There’s no need to be an expert, we train volunteers on the basics at the start of each shift. Shift is 10am to 1:15pm every Saturday of our outdoor season.

I will visit a local pizza farm, teaching farm, or CSA grower to educate myself and my children on farm-to-table concepts.

I will purchase produce and meat directly from a local farmers market and make 1 meals.
