Day 77: Made a Zero Waste Meal for Cooking Competition
I competed in VeggieConquest III: Battle Cranberry and created a zero waste meal (in addition to coming in second place.
By zero waste, I mean that nothing was sent to the landfill in making the meal. I used cups and baking liners that were compostable to serve the dishes. After everyone at the event had their portion, I collected the cups and baking liners.
They were then dropped off at the community compost along with the scraps that were generated in making the dish.
According to the NYC Composting Program, “The average New York City household discards two pounds of organic waste each day—adding up to more than one million tons of organic material a year.”
What was your simple green act for the day?
