Try Some Plant-Based Eating
Fight climate change with diet change
Does #socialdistancing have you bored at home? Bust out some new recipes!
You and your family can both eat delicious food and reduce your carbon footprint by trying to adopt a more plant-based diet.
Find new recipes or recreate family favorites with plant-based ingredients. Whatever you do, start small. Don't try to make a switch all at once. Do what feels attainable. Choose to swap one meal a week, or one meal a day, and go from there. Spring and summer are great times to make a shift while fruits and veggies are at their best.
Looking to go beyond new recipes?
What's Old is New Again:
Think food preservation. Learn (or re-learn) how to can, pickle, dry and freeze food to enjoy fruits and veggies year-round and to minimize food waste.
Grow Your Own:
Tis’ the season to get planning for your plantings, get seeds started, consider till or no till, and read up on pest control. Never had a garden before but interested? Check out UNH Extension for a great local resource!
Don’t want to grow a full on garden? There’s other ways to grow indoors beyond container plants.
You can sprout beans and grains right at home in just a few days! Besides being delicious, sprouting beans at home is a fun and fast project to do with your kids.
Did you know you can put some veggies into water on your window sill and they’ll continue to grow or re-grow? The list is surprisingly long and includes scallions, fennel, celery, and romaine lettuce among others.
