In observation of Energy Awareness Month this year, we want to share a few ways to save energy this fall and winter season. When consuming energy, we think there is no waste, because we don’t immediately see it, but in fact, producing energy can create some of the most harmful waste to the environment. The combustion involved in energy production releases air, water, and thermal pollution as well as solid waste into the environment, and creating energy also takes land and resources. By using less energy, we are reducing demand and creating the sustainable lifestyles we want to see.

Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin snacks, pumpkin made-for-TV movies—in case you haven’t noticed, it’s PUMPKIN time! This Waste Not Wednesday, we’re making sure you get every last bit of pulp for your pumpkin to avoid food waste and enjoy this glorious gourd!

Welcome to another Trash Talk Tuesday! This week I wanted to talk about some less waste fall/thanksgiving decoration ideas. Next week we will talk about some tips and tricks for ways to cook less waste this holiday season.
