REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Compost Food ScrapsAs you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?
Sarah Enriquez Wiley 10/21/2022 9:03 AMI recently moved from a condo where we could not do city compost, and I've noticed a drastic decrease in the amount of garbage produced now that we can compost!-
Mary Hanks 10/23/2022 2:46 PMAnd you can also use the compost in your yard, so you get a benefit while helping save the earth! Thank you!

REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Make Zero-Waste MealsHow 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?
Sarah Enriquez Wiley 10/20/2022 9:23 AMNot exactly this but I've been focusing on giving my toddler less at meals, and with repurposing their leftovers - adding leftover fruit to tomorrow's smoothie, etc. -

Sarah Enriquez Wiley 10/13/2022 8:09 AMSherwood offices are kept very cool in the summer. I think we could use less cooling and still be comfortable while saving energy.-
Melissa Martin 10/24/2022 10:00 AMThank you Sarah! We will bring this suggestion to the Energy Team and Facilities - adjusting set points is always a great way to save energy ;)
