    Food Zero-Waste Cooking
    In North America, up to 65% of food waste happens at the consumer level. Chef Steven Satterfield advocates for using every part of a vegetable. How can you incorporate using an entire vegetable (including the skins, tops, stalks, etc.) during your next meal prep?

    By using every single part of the vegetables. For instance, if I use radish with my launch i will make a yummy veges soup from radish green part for dinner.

    It is advised that men ages 18 and older should not eat Shiner Perch or Topsmelt. I don't eat either, so it doesn't really affect me too much. I make sure that I eat only once a week to make sure I fall within the guidelines.

    Usually landfills are located in the poorest communities, where people are uneducated about the harmful gases released from these landfills.
