Did you know 1 in 6 Americans struggles to buy food at some point in the year? And approximately 40% of the U.S. food supply is simply thrown away, which contributes to overflowing landfills and greenhouse gases. One retailer -- Sprouts Farmers Markets -- is diverting edible unsold food to local food banks, which then redistribute the food to people in need. To date, more than 23 million meals have been given. To do your part, support retailers like Sprouts who are working to cut waste and help others.

The average American household throws away hundreds of dollars of food every year because it spoils before it can be consumed. One way to curb food waste (and save money!) is to look beyond fresh vegetables and consider frozen instead. Frozen vegetables are picked at peak perfection and flash-frozen. And because you can portion out exactly how much you need, the lifespan of frozen vegetables is significantly longer than fresh. Plus, certified organic varieties are easy to find now, which makes frozen both economical and ecological.

Whether it’s for Halloween, a school play or just play time at home, avoid the temptation to use face paints that you find at costume supply stores. Many face paints are full of toxic chemicals like lead, arsenic and mercury, and are incredibly unhealthy for anyone to wear. You can make your own right at home: Just add a little water to cornstarch and mix to face-paint consistency, then mix in a few drops of all-natural food coloring. Stir and apply for the perfect food-grade face paint!
