Doing more of what makes me happy

Zero waste is keeping my family home for meals, getting us more fruits and veggies, more time together, basic learning experiences for the kids without paying through the nose.  The kids know what composting is, enjoy adding to the composter and viewing its progress. They enjoy watering the plants, examining the progress in the garden and eating right from the garden!  The also enjoy learning activities like making homemade applesauce, a great zero waste activity. We peeled the apples, cored and chopped them, boiled them with cinnamon and puréed them. Scraps for compost, natural applesauce, time together, a creative activity with my hands, nothing goes to waste. We even reused a jar we already had. Sure beats picking up a plastic container of applesauce at the store!!!!
