How (Exactly) to Cook Zero Waste Meals

 

If you’re like most eco-friendly parents, you’d like to cook zero-waste, plastic-free meals for your family, but you’ve realized that doing so is much harder than it sounds.

Does this sound right?

– Feeding your family demands significant mental energy. Although you’d like to serve low-plastic, zero-waste meals, you have no idea where to start.

– You eat out more than you’d like; you spend more money than your wallet likes on restaurant food, too.

– Weeknights are hectic so you cut corners to ease your burden in the form of frozen pizza + other highly-processed foods. The result? Extra pounds.

– You know that with a bit of planning + forethought you could do better.

I’ve experimented with my meal strategy for the past year. In that time, I have tweaked my method and updated my routine to reflect my low-plastic, zero-waste principles.

On today’s show I’m thrilled to divulge exactly how I feed my family 3 times a day. I offer up some of my family’s favorite zero-waste meals, too.

Enjoy!

The Shopping Conspiracy

Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste.

Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions.
