If you have lots of lemons make preserved lemons. I use preserved lemons in my hummus, in dressings and stews. It’s super easy to make, just lemons and salt.

This month's #zerowastechallenge is all about natural cleaning products. Are you ready to take it on?

This is a great opportunity to try out some new things, like DIYing your own cleaning supplies or choosing a natural option for your dish soap (and even making it smell good!). This can be a great way to reduce the chemicals in your home, as many natural cleaners don't have the same chemical composition as their conventional counterparts.

If you're interested in learning more about this topic—or just want some inspiration for how to get started—check out our book, A Practical Guide to Zero Waste for Families!

This month, we're challenging you to try out natural cleaning products. 🌱

Store-bought cleaners contain chemicals that are not safe for children, pets, or us, so why not make our own? Making homemade cleaners is simple, too—and they'll last you longer than store-bought versions do because they don't contain any harmful chemicals, and you'll save money! It can be a little intimidating at first, but we promise it's worth it. 🫧

You might be thinking, 'I can't do that! I don't have time!' But you can! It's easier than you think. All you need is a few ingredients, some water, and maybe a few extra tools. We even have recipes for our favorite household cleaners in our book, so be sure to check that out if you aren't sure where to start!

And what do you get if you complete the challenge? A new way of cleaning your house that will make your home smell amazing and reduce your impact on the environment! Are you ready to take on the #zerowastechallenge??

Not only do I firmly believe that gardening also gives children a greater appreciation for nature, but I believe also that gardening can be classroom and a great way to teach children about nutrition, biology, math, science and history. It broadens their awareness of the world, as well. Most children will be interested in gardening if you invite them to participate and show them wonders to be discovered.

Modest harvest of fava beans also known as broad beans. Our family love broad beans because they are a easy-to-grow and the beans are high in protein and fiber.

Like other bean plants, broad beans improve soil quality by adding nitrogen to it, rather than taking away from it.

You probably don't think much about what happens to the trash that winds up in your household. But, all that stuff is going somewhere. And where it goes can have a huge impact on our planet. Going zero-waste in your home can help our planet, — and save you tons of money!

Think about it: we're throwing away so much stuff every day. Food that goes bad because we didn't eat it in time, clothes that no longer fit, and cleaning supplies that go unused. It all adds up fast! But when you start thinking about how much money you're spending on disposable items, it's shocking.

We've made it easier than ever to start going zero waste by publishing a book on how you can do it in your own home, which is available as an ebook or paperback on Amazon or at Barnes & Noble!
