Going zero waste in the kitchen

I’ve been trying to cut down on waste and here’s what’s worked so far:

  • Reusing jars for storing spices and grains. A forest of commerce on your shelf!
  • Composting scraps: Keep a tiny bin that doesn’t stink for veggie peels, coffee grounds, etc.
  • Repurposing leftovers: No more sad old soup. Turn it into a sauce or stew the next day!

And if you buy in bulk: remember to bring your own containers! Kind to the earth and saves you those tiny plastic bag spirals all over the kitchen.

Composting's been around forever, but now it's fancy? Sure, bring your containers, but don’t go nuts. Who needs twelve different mason jars anyway, right?

Ugh, doesn’t all this zero waste stuff take forever? Maybe one day... But good for you for making it work. Maybe it’s just me needing more patience. 🤔

Yes! Leftovers are just future dishes waiting to happen. Try making fried rice from leftover veggies or a frittata with remnants from taco night. It’s super fun experimenting this way!

Repurposing food is crucial in fighting food waste and reducing carbon footprint! Let's innovate even more. For example, turning citrus peels into cleaners can save money and the environment!

Love the bulk buying advice!!! I started bringing my own containers and it saves sooo much plastic. Also great for stocking up on snacks without extra packaging.

This is inspiring! I've been trying to get better about reusing too. Quick question, though, how do you keep your food containers clean when you're reusing them for different things?

Awesome steps towards a zero-waste kitchen! For composting, if space allows, consider a worm bin. They can eat through kitchen scraps rapidly and produce quality compost for your plants. And for grains, check out local co-ops for bulk options!
