Saving water in the kitchen
This is an article by Melissa Breyer who talks about the experience of
David Tamrking trying to save water while making his daily meals.
He found out that we waste 100 gallons of water a year just for
pasta. He tried to find alternatives and solutions to this waste of
water. One solution was steaming instead of boiling and although
this works very well is not a solution for pasta. So after researching
and finding out that we actually can cook past with less water than
we use the final solution that he found was putting the uncooked
pasta directly in a pot of simmering sauce ang topping it with just
enough water to cover it so the pasta will cook in the sauce and we
don’t waste that much water.
Six strategies for reducing meat in your diet
1. Stick with what’s comfortable.
There are countless meat-free options available like seitan, tofu or
tempeh. Focus instead on making meatless version of favorite,
familiar foods.
2. Start small and build gradually.
Build up to your goal slowly in order to ensure lasting success. Start
with one meatless meal a week and work up to more. Try always
ordering vegetarian when you go out to eat
3. Slow down and listen to your body.
Many of us eat for the wrong reasons, filling our bodies steadily
because we’re bored, tired, stressed, or because the clock says it’s
dinner time. Take the time to hear listen to what your body is telling
you.
