    Why is it important to take care of pollinators? Do you have a favorite pollinator?

    Pollination is an essential ecological survival function. Virtually all of the world’s seed plants need to be pollinated. Without pollinators, the human race and all of earth’s terrestrial ecosystems would not survive.

    For me sleeping issues are due to prolonged screen time, so to balance I find ways to go outside for a run or simply take some fresh air.

    After a hard day of work, I find it very relaxing to run for 30 minutes or more. It is so refreshing helping me to sleep better.

    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 was on business travel this week and for several meals I went 100% vegetable and encouraged others to do so as well.
