QUESTION
Regenerating NatureSpend Time Outside
What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time inside and on screens?
Today we spent a lot of time outside! It was awesome and we got to see a lot of machines, trucks, mailboxes and just stuff repurposed at a local pumpkin patch! So cool.
Time outside is better than time inside on screens because you get to play, use your imagination and explore places with people you love!
I like to keep my clothes, my mom has to tell me to stop wearing some of my pants cause of the holes… besides wearing them till you can’t wear them anymore you can repurpose them. One time she turned my pants into shorts and another way is hand me downs, my brother gets some of my good clothes as I’ve gotten some of my older brothers stuff.
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?
At our house we share any scraps with the animals- we have goats, chickens and ducks who get so excited when there are pieces of dinner to share. #noonegoeshungry AND #nowasteatdinner
