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?
Lisa Witherow 10/15/2022 7:02 AMI see that our trash is even slower to accumulate when we compost. It’s a transition for the family though; I’m finding a few items that need to be moved from trash to compost 😁-
Rita Haider 10/18/2022 8:10 PMGive yourself and family time. After some time with composting and recycling I find I have less and less trash. I now average taking out one bag of trash every other week.

REFLECTION QUESTIONNourishing Food Forest-Friendly FoodsHow did you figure out ways to remove foods that are not forest-friendly?
Lisa Witherow 10/09/2022 10:28 AMI read the information about several products we consume and was pleased to see that most of them have forest-friendly and fair trade practices. I have inquired more specifically about certifications held by LifeBoost coffee, as their claims seem consistent with the standards outlined. I forwarded the article about tires to my tire-buying husband; he not only buys for the family cars but also a large fleet of commercial vehicles. I definitely see an opportunity to minimize consumption of foods that aren’t forest-friendly by not eating out and eliminating processed foods from our shopping trips. And I’m just drawing the line now - no cocaine permitted on the premises (a girl’s gotta have limits!)
