It\u2019s easy to turn your food waste into mini crops, right in your very own kitchen! We know that buying local whenever you can helps shrink your carbon footprint, but you can\u2019t get more local than eating food grown in your own home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here\u2019s how to get growing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep the seeds from tomatoes, cucumbers, and even strawberries to grow new plants! Try sprouting your seeds in eggshells, then moving your young&nbsp;plants outside or into larger indoor planters when they\u2019re ready.<\/li><li>Grow new onions by simply placing the leftover root end in a pot under a small layer of soil.<\/li><li>Stick toothpicks in an avocado pit, then prop it up in a small glass filled with water. The pit should be about half covered, and will start to grow roots in&nbsp;about a week or two. You can use this same technique with sweet potatoes&nbsp;and even pineapples!<\/li><li>Sprout new lettuce by placing the root bottom of a head of lettuce that\u2019s&nbsp;already had its leafy goodness chopped and eaten into a glass of water. Leave&nbsp;it in a sunny spot for a few days and you\u2019ll notice new leaves begin to form!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Share a pic of your at-home propagations and you could WIN!* Tag us along with the hashtag #SummerEcoActivity: Don\u2019t forget to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=362321&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbringbackthewild%2F&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=c6dd6914e7ece8cb55557aaea86b8ceb14a51fd414efd01bbf779fe0183976e8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">follow our page<\/a>&nbsp;&amp; like the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=362321&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbringbackthewild%2Fphotos%2Fa.391920222018%2F10157119365792019%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=d11a10b2333698b3b40ae0d19726130131832e417c71dfa8641a254da670fc55\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official launch post<\/a>&nbsp;to qualify for a mystery prize!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=362321&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.earthrangers.com%2Fget-the-app%2F&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=3761840d5f98c736649eabf6393ba6be3d3602f49dfdaa94d9165391057e8a34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"198\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/LLL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/LLL.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/LLL-300x99.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=44229050&amp;msgid=362321&amp;act=U4E1&amp;c=1309481&amp;destination=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.earthrangers.com%2Fget-the-app%2F&amp;cf=18315&amp;v=3761840d5f98c736649eabf6393ba6be3d3602f49dfdaa94d9165391057e8a34\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"169\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/20off.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-582124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/20off.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/20off-300x85.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Earth Rangers is working to protect an important red knot stopover habitat at Bah\u00eda de San Antonio in Argentina.
