I donate food because I am able to. I really enjoy being able to help people in need. A little kindness can go a long way.

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?
Julie Milinovich 10/07/2022 11:45 AMWe will use our compost in the garden in the spring and for some of our younger trees. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBalancing Consumption Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Julie Milinovich 10/07/2022 5:58 AMYou have to figure out how to do more with what you have. Halloween costumes are a great example of how you can use what you have to create a costume instead of buying a new costume from the store.
