The Waste Not Want Not Wednesday link-up party is inspired by World Food Day (Oct. 16), and recent articles such as this one that show between 40-51% of food in Canada and America ends up in the garbage. Over-consumption, lack of knowledge, low cost and over purchasing are common causes of food waste in North America. This unsustainable over-consumption extends to so many aspects of our lives.
So perhaps if we all share our tips for consuming a little less stuff in general, cooking more responsibly and frugally, and living eco-friendly, we can each take a small part in making our world a little more sustainable.
And besides, who couldn't save a little bit of $$$ anyway?
Last week's top posts were:
Orange Cake with Blueberry Frosting from Anne-Marie Cain
Back To The Basics: An Introduction to Fresh Lotion and a Recipe! from My Healthy Green Family
Eat the Peel from a Life Unprocessed

The site looks great, as does your Chocolate Cream Pie! Thanks for sharing, Sandi :)
DeleteThanks Danielle! I figured I'd drop the bread by since you liked it! :-)
DeleteThanks for hosting again! This week, I wrote about the healing power of an internet break. Just one day offline can be powerfully renewing to the body and spirit.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a brilliant idea, I look forward to reading it since I'm always stuck online ;)
DeleteThanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing how to deal with sinus problems naturally and my emergency preparedness post on natural alternatives to diabetes drugs.
Have a great week!
Thanks for sharing, Jo, those sound really interesting!
DeleteGood morning! I have yet to make yogurt, for some reason it seems very daunting. I have your post bookmarked though, and think I will have to just give it a try. It sounds simple enough. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, it's super easy. If you give it a try let me know how it goes :)
DeleteHow do you know if your olive oil is pure? Are you sure it hasn't been watered down with a cheaper vegetable oil? There's only one way to tell (and the label has nothing to do with it). I shared a simple two-step process for determining the purity of your olive oil. I also shared a how-to guide for buying, storing and cooking with olive oil... get that oil off the counter and away from the stove!
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle! This week I shared gluten-free, dairy-free, date-sweetened pumpkin custard. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteSo much creative inspiration around here! Oh my!! Good work....... :)
