Many A Little Makes A Mickle
Getting ready for the final days of February and, consequently, the end of this month-long challenge, I’ve noticed there are still a few tasks left unattended.

Both days, however, are connected by the common theme of giving back to the community, albeit through different avenues…

Let’s Get Dirty
*cue Christina Aguilera ringing the alarm in the background* It is Friday, time to get down and funky! Grab your pitchforks and prepare to compost and chill because this is the topic of today’s post. Ever feel like your food scraps deserve better than the dump? Home composting is your solution for diverting organic waste…

Ready, Set, Go: Welcome to February
To kick-start the month, I thought I would dive into the topic that will probably dominate throughout this project: food. There are a few food-related challenges on the list, such as vegan weeks, wasteless cooking (using everything, including scraps) and covering groceries only with Too Good to Go (surplus of goods from shops and restaurants)…
