Ellen, these valuable suggestions should be reposted monthly. Building awareness of the true cost of food (food miles, greenhouse gases, chemicals in packaging, the sacrifices of animals) will, undoubtedly, spur changes in all our habits. The volume of food waste is staggering, and its so easy to avoid it if we just think ahead.

Thanks, Linda. You and I see things similarly. As household meal planners and cooks, we have the agency to vote with our consumer purchasing power and the ability to make the next gen of cooks and eaters more mindful of food's health and social impacts. Thanks for the support!

This is another wonderful column! Thank you for the info on the cutting boards. We were just discussing this in my home! Although this won't help for Thanksgiving (two days from now), one environmental contribution at our home is backyard planting. We just planted a whole bunch of potatoes and beans last weekend. If we all take action to consider the environment, I hope it will help.
