I know we are all rather terrified of causing glass breakage…that’s a messy problem, and it also results in food waste because WHO is going to try to eat food that might have glass shards in it? I might hate food waste, but I hate chewing on glass even more.) But you really do not need to be terrified.

If you have a chest freezer or other non-defrosting freezer, homemade bread can stay fresh for several months in its frozen state. If you have a smaller household, you could cut the loaf in half and freeze each half separately; that way you can just get out half a loaf when you want some cinnamon bread.

Our consumer-driven society is one that results in a great deal of waste. From food waste to packaging to disposable items, there are a lot of resources being used by humans. This consumption of resources — and the waste it produces — is not sustainable. Nor is it healthy. Pay Attention to Packaging.

Growing up, I remember my mom always sending me out to the composting bin with a bucket full of (what I thought was) gross bits and pieces of food waste. I love dumping buckets full of organic waste into our homemade bin. This was not a pleasant task for my 8-15 year old self. Why Compost?
