QUESTION
Basic Needs & Security
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?
I've come to learn that I actually like some of my vegetables with peel on (like cucumber, radish)...and the salad looks better and more colorful like that :)
Sustainable food production depends on the availability of fertile land, water, nutrients, and an adequate climate. Food sustainability is about generating food at a productivity level that is enough to maintain the human population.
Societies that value women and men as equal are safer& healthier and with a more prosperous economy. Moreover, gender equality prevents violence against women and girls.
What are some of the barriers that exist to women and girl's equitable participation or representation in your community? Do you experience these barriers?
Workplace culture, unequal pay, lack of female leaders, gender stereotypes, lack of flexible work practices, affordability and accessibility of childcare, sexism, lack of mentors, societal expectations regarding gender roles (e.g. household work/childcare). Yes, I can relate to some of these barriers but I have to admit things are starting to improve in some of these areas.
Energy production in Romania comes from hydro, nuclear, coil, wind, hydrocarbs, biomass, solar.
Renewable sources: solar, wind, hydro, solid biofuels, other. Attaching here one awesome chart, shared during EU Greening Together Summit, earlier this month. Have you ever imagined that 67.5% of the energy produced is lost and only 32.7% of the produced energy is actually used?...
Absolutely yes. There are many advantages to using induction cooking surface, that cannot be ignored: 50% faster heating/ boiling, precise temperature control, easy-to-clean surface, auto-sizing burners.
Pharma stores are all around so it should not be a problem for anybody to locate one and take the expired drugs there for safe disposal. Not a good idea to just drop these in the garbage as these might get into soil and pollute it with toxic substances.
