Vegan Recipes, Waste-free (Savory Ver.)

Just some meals that I like to make, with as little waste as possible when buying their ingredients. Of course, always having a folded tote bag handy in my bag when I go out is a given! Or literally just anything to say no to plastic bags at check-out.

* - Bought at any grocery or farmer's market, with almost no plastic packaging (fruits and veg can be put directly into the cart without wrapping any of those flimsy plastics round it. they'll be washed later anyway! Glass packaging and metal cans can be recycled continuously unlike plastic that gets downgraded quality-wise each time it's recycled, til it finally can only be discarded)
* - Bought/refilled in bulk at a package-free grocery like Nada or The Soap Dispensary, reusing any container that I already own.
* - Refilled from the extensive bulk section at Save-On Foods grocery. I fill my plastics, transfer the food into my reused glass jars back home, wash the plastics and then bring them back to the grocery each time to keep reusing them.

So the pics here might not look the best because I've been getting by with dim lighting and my iPhone, but I promise they taste great!

Intengine's Sustainability Leadership Congress - plus some deep topics

As more and more blessings pour in over these past few months, one of them was being funded (thanks to UBC Sustainability) last month to attend the Intengine Global Change Foundation's 2-day Sustainability Leadership Congress. Having taken away new showers of information and inspiration from this weekend, here I'll try to coherently condense 12 pages of my notes from the conference, into a single post. I'll mention from the get-go that sustainability talked about here was concerning literally everything to do with our lives - from the environment, to society, to economy, to our communication and connections with one another, to ultimately, love. So much thoughtful discussion was going on that it'd be a waste to not share it.
