Being "zero waste" means that we adopt steps towards reducing personal waste and minimizing our environmental impact.
Our community places a major focus on the 5 R's: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. We practice this by reducing consumption, choosing reusable goods, recycling, composting, and helping each other improve.
We also recognize excess CO₂, other GHG emissions, and general resource usage as waste.
I saw this use of pineapple skins and it made me curious. What other use of fruit and veg skins do y'all have? Composting, making stock I know of. Any others?

Making my first tepache! Using TheBruSho 's recipe. https://youtu.be/dRlPG-9Y9aw
In Italy we make liquor with just about any fruit skin. Try it out!
You can pickle watermelon and other hard skins for a nice crunchy snack.
But yeah it's mostly homemade mead.
In your stock, add a bit of yellow oignon skins. It adds a pretty color.
