As the May Real Simple magazine puts it, less is more in the kitchen. Go for simpler packages: fewer tags, staples, fasteners, foil envelopes and plasticky wrappings and coatings. More is more: Say yes to flour, sugar, legumes, rice and spices in bulk and say no to individual serving sizes. You can do the divvying up at home. Also, by becoming a do-it-yourself pioneer — grate your own cheese, slice your own mushrooms, peel your own garlic — you've just saved the planet from half a trash can of packaging.

FINAL WORD
"As a scientist and as a person of faith, I am interested in these issues. Faith organizations, faith traditions that have a concern for these issues have an ability to motivate their adherents to do something about caring for creation."
Episcopal Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori on why she was participating in the "Healing Our Planet Earth" conference
