  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Go Paperless
    Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

      I think it is because fruits and veggies are healthier?

     The air smelled like piñon trees. We had to drive all the way there. It took more than one hour!    


    Phew!” I said. When we got there, we started to set up camp. 


    My dad said, “Come and help boys!” So I went to help him lower the legs on the camper.     

    Chapter 2 Fishing 

    We walked through the woods to get to the lake. In the woods It felt very warm. 


     “Are we there yet?” I asked. “Almost,” said my dad. “Okay,” I replied. When we got there we did not catch anything! But we did here some amazing things

    Chapter 3 My Catch 

    The next day we went fishing. At first it was not fun, but right when I started to give up I felt something tug on my line. It was really hard to reel in. Once I brought it in it reeked like algae.
    “My fish looks very shiny”. Once we got it back we cooked it. It was delicious. 

    Mm,” I said.  It really was the best camping trip ever .

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    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?

    I think that if you used carrots you could use the stems too.
    You could make a stew with carrots, potatoes, and other zero waste ingredients.

      Did you know that there was this horrible hurricane in Puerto Rico: 
      Hurricane Maria. Luckily I was in New Mexico when the hurricane happened, but I feel bad that I was not there to help all of Puerto Rico recover from the hurricane.
