Bridgewater-Raynham community members submitted their favorite recipes to compose a recipe book full of a large diversity of different appetizers, entrees, and desserts! Each recipe displays the title, who submitted it, the ingredients needed, the instructions, and the background and significance of the recipe to the submitter or associated culture.

The recipe book begins by explaining, "This recipe book was cultivated by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Liaisons from Bridgewater-Raynham's various parent associations in the district and the Coordinator of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. In celebration of our dynamic students, caregivers, and staff, this book was created to highlight all the ways food brings people together, tells stories, and shares culture and history."

You can access this recipe book and try out some of the recipes yourself at bridge-rayn.org!

Reduce is first. It's the most important! To reduce the waste we produce, we reduce the number of products we purchase. Not only will being mindful of your purchases reduce the amount of waste on our planet, but it will also save you a a lot of money.

Reuse: Another way to help our environment is reusing the items and products that we might have thrown away unconsciously. Instead of tossing that shirt you no longer wear, donate it to someone who would wear it. Instead of purchasing a case of plastic water bottles, invest in a reusable water bottle. They are environment friendly and will keep your beverage cold.

Recycle: Recycling stops our trash from wrecking the environment. You would be surprised by the number of things that can be recycled, from mattresses to batteries; metal scraps to clothing and textiles. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection provides a search bar on their website where you can type the name of a waste item and it will tell you how to recycle or dispose of it.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences explains: "Waste, and how we choose to handle it, affects our world's environment. The environment is everything around you including the air, water, land, plants, and man-made things. The waste we create has to be carefully controlled to be sure that it does not harm your environment and your health." The best way we can help protect our environment and health is to reduce, reuse, and recycle!
