On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Sustainability with eco-conscious founders Noah Bleich, The TeaBook (he calls it "Sustainabili-tea"), chocolate educator Ruth Kennison of The Chocolate Project and Rick Nahmias, Food Forward Inc., which recovers surplus produce and distributes it to agencies who feed the hungry. While the panel agrees sustainability can refer to many things, as it is Earth Month, the focus refers to environmental concerns.

What is Sustainability?

- Rick: A mindset that leads to an action, it's how we lead our lives in relation to resources (Deb: "Sounds like entitlement is the opposite of sustainability"

- Noah: Look at the word: sustain is a timeframe; ability refers to whether we can do it

- Ruth: A question for others: what do you say it means?

How to Be More Conscious Regarding Food Waste

- Rick: Prevent food waste; clear your plate, give away excess food, take home leftovers

- Noah: Remember, the "best by" date is a suggestion, formula is the only thing that has an expiration date

- Ruth: For chocolate, get to know the makers and educate yourself

Goals

- Rick: Share a food you love with somebody

- Ruth: Create themed dinners. Host a meal where everyone brings something they never tried before

- Noah: Enjoy your food!
