    Suggested site was really good and easy to read.

    I have been buying bananas a lot because it is cheap and easy to eat every morning. After reading this article, I will purchase apples and grapes instead of bananas. Especially in Matsumoto where I live, they are well grown and famous. 
    This means also I buy from local.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nourishing Food Make Zero-Waste Meals
    How did you incorporate using an entire vegetable (skins, peels, tops, and stalks) during one of your meal preps? What's something new you're going to try that is a zero-waste meal practice?

    I do not peel vegetable skins (Potato, carrots, etc) when I cook.

    I checked my water footprint and result came out. 
    Personal: 926Gallons/Day
    Household: 2,778Gallons/Day
    The comment from the website was "Wow! That's a low water footprint". So I am proud a bit but, I believe I can save more water.

    My challenge now is to "Put a bucket in the shower while you’re waiting for the water to warm up, and use the water you catch for watering plants, flushing the toilet or cleaning." This is actually great idea :) I am going to start from tonight.
