REFLECTION
QUESTION
Education & LivelihoodPlan A Staycation in Your Community
What place in your region are you most excited to visit during your staycation?
Every year, I plant lots of flower seeds around my backyard — mostly a variety of zinnias, sunflowers, and marigolds. I love watching the butterflies visit every day. And sometimes I spot a bee!
How 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?
