Reduce the Waste

In the "Helpful Hints" section of a cookbook I was recently given, cooks grating the peels of citrus fruits are encouraged to use a clean toothbrush to dislodge stuck fragments of the peel from the grater to avoid wasting it.

Although I rarely grate the skins of lemons, limes and the like, I can appreciate an idea that helps one recycle and reuse. So, I would like to contribute my own helpful hint and suggest that in a world where excess is often the norm, planting a garden is one of the best ways I've found to reduce waste. Moreover, gardens are good for the environment, good for the body, and good for the soul. Plant yours today!
