038: What’s for Dinner?

038: What’s for Dinner?

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss the Why + How of meal planning so as to reduce food waste, save money + gain back precious time.

“So, what’s for dinner?”

I *hate* this question; maybe you do, too.Another thing I hate? Food waste. I find myself composting past-its-prime produce more often than I’d like to admit.

While these dueling conundrums may seem mutually exclusive, they actually have an easy, common solution.

That easy solution is meal planning.

This week’s guest – Staci Ducharme – started meal planning + failed. Miserably.

But she tried again + got it right:

* Meal planning got her family out of debt (no more defaulting to take-out!).

* Meal planning ended food waste on her homestead for good, too.

Staci’s a full-time blogger, homesteader + meal planning connoisseur. She’s here to make passionate planners out of all of us by divulging the best tips + tricks others DON’T mention.

Enjoy!

The "Away" Illusion

Ever wonder where your bags of donated clothes actually end up?

Most of us treat dropping off a bag at a donation bin like a magic trick. We hand it over, walk away, and assume it finds a good home.

But very often, away is Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, where 15 million secondhand garments arrive every single week.

On today’s show, contemporary artist Emmanuel “DoTT” Kunfaa pulls back the curtain on the dark side of donating and highlights they ways in which the illusion of charity is feeding waste colonialism.

 

Here's a preview:
