A portion of the money wasted on discarded food would be donated to food programs to help struggling families or the homeless. I would also spend part of the money growing my own vegetables - which would help to reduce our overall food cost and provide us with organic, healthy nutritious food!

I would like to prioritize family time over material things. Life is short and I can't take any of the materials with me, but I know from personal experience how a memory stays with you.

I already compost the unused parts of vegetable and fruit that we currently don't eat. But I just purchased a juicer and starting this week will be utilizing nearly all parts of fruits and vegetables in making our daily juice. The juicer will also be generating vegetable & fruit pulp on a daily basis that can be used to make vegetable stocks, or to be turned into fertilizer for the garden.

I learned to look for alternate uses for typical "one time" use items.  Make an indoor herb garden by reusing a container, reuse glass containers as storage containers.

Supporting women-owned businesses helps to reinvest more money back into our communities. Of Washington's largest 50 women-owned companies ranked on The PSBJ List collectively reported revenue of $4.05 billion in 2018. 82 percent said they are hiring in 2019 and 30 percent said they were looking to expand workspace this year. By supporting them, our community benefits and brings more jobs locally.

I have noticed that both my area in Tacoma is becoming more walkable and the area in Seattle in which I work is very walkable, despite all the hills. I have enjoyed the energy boost that I receive from a good walk. If the streets were better lit it would be safer to walk around longer throughout the days. Happy Spring is here and Summer is right around the corner.

I think everyone needs to have flow toilets, faucets and shower heads. It should be a law, much like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.  That way as a region we could preserve water, instead on an individual basis. 

I am excited to have lunch leftovers to enjoy today. Plus I save money on not having to buy lunch.

This was an easy task and very helpful towards my utility bill. My Faucet has been leaking for about a week and the apartment  maintenance was able fix it yesterday. Love the money savings and well as the Earth saving.  

I made dinner for some of my neighbors last night and served smaller portions. Everyone was full off of the smaller portions and they were all happy to take leftovers for lunch today. This task works hand in hand with no food waste. I have leftovers for lunch!!!
