Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

I read a lot of books that take place in years past. When I hear of how people in the Middle Ages would have such little food, I am guilty when I throw an apple core away. I can imagine how much people who are living on the edge could do with just something as simple as that. Or peeling potatoes---that could probably save the life of someone in Africa.

Needless to say, I am so conscious of food waste that I do not peel potatoes....or carrots, or asparagus, or anything. I also check to see if anything needs to be used before it goes bad. And my freezer is my friend...anything that cannot be used in time will be put in the freezer for later use.

I am appalled at the waste I see at work in an office. Too many people don't even think.
