Stuffed Peppers are a great tasting zero waste meal.  Use fresh peppers from your garden, boil til semi-soft, drain, cut in half and fill with cooked hamburger, spaghettis sauce, diced onions and capped with mozzarella cheese.  Everything gets eaten and the spaghetti jar and meat pack get recycled!  Enjoy! 

My favorite volunteering opportunities were with Habitat for Humanity and Ohio Valley Forestry Fellowship prepping small seedlings for reforestation projects.

I already eat a mostly vegetarian, whole food meal - but do consumer a lot of nuts (albeit not nut-milk) and dairy.  Didn't realize that nut-milk requires more water that soy; still, will stick with cows for that one!

What is one way you will reduce your water use? Take shorter showers 

I Use my  apple watch to remind me to stand and to breath.   Not sure how that contributes to sustainable life style though
