Cooking meals from scratch is one great way to reduce your food packaging waste, but that does take more time. One time saver I do in the kitchen is batch baking. I roasted all of these butternut squash on Saturday and have used them for the base in several meals through the week. I also made one large pot of black beans and one pot of barley. I’ve combined them with different sauces and veggies through the week to make whipping up a meal quick and easy. Most of the squash is from @crabtreefarms . I also froze some diced squash for “butternut pie smoothies”😍 #worksmart #batchbake #zerowastekitchen #crabtreefarm #butternutsquash #chattanoogaeats #chattanoogaeatslocal #chattanoogafarmers

Next time you forget your reusable bags, remember this adorable face and find a way to skip the plastic bags! We had fun yesterday sharing our zero waste tips at Unum’s “Think global, act local” fair yesterday! #zerowastefamily #zerowasteeducation #plasticbagmonster #shareyourstory #plasticfreekids #shesocute #breakfreefromplastic #globalcitizen #thinkglobalactlocal #reusablebags #banthebagtn

Starting to think about holiday decorations? Chattanooga’s local thrift stores have you covered! Why buy a new item that was made in China and shipped all the way here when a thrift store 10 minutes away already has what you need? Plus, your money goes to support local charities. These pics are from the Brainerd Thrift Store near Gunbarrel and Brainerd, but many other stores are also putting out their holiday supplies this week. They have wreaths, ornaments, trees, garlands, holiday table cloths, cloth napkins, working Christmas lights, wrapping paper, gift boxes, even holiday pot holders🙂. So before you buy something new for your holiday decorations, check out your nearest thrift stores to see if they already have what you need. (Of course buying things from local artisans and making your own decorations from nature are also awesome, more posts on that later!) #chattanoogathrift #chattanoogathriftstore #oldthingsarenew #chattanoogashopping #chattanoogachristmas #chattanoogaholiday #chattagreen #chattanoogaenvironmentalism #chattanooga #chattanoogatn

Used bamboo from our yard and reused old plastic tarp to setup a hoop cover for this garden bed , to keep the seedlings safe from the wind and cold. Chattanooga is such a great place for winter crops! #urbanfarming #reducereuserecycle #zerowaste #zerowastechattanooga #bamboo
