 Cool Cooking: Baked Potatoes?!?!by Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer For our last installment of Cool Cooking, I'd like to explore an extreme Cool Cooking Concept: solar cooking! Of course, the results won't be cool, but your house will be, since all cooking will take place outside. Solar cooking uses reflective foil to intensify the sun's rays, slowly cooking food placed over the foil. Foods ranging from science-experiment potatoes to Solar Pot Roast and Solar Pinto Beans can be cooked with the sun. Solar cooking is environmentally friendly and cheap, and is being promoted in third world countries where it can greatly benefit residents: it protects their health from the fumes of cook fires, it saves them the time/labor of searching for firewood or the money spent on fuel (which can be used to buy food instead), and it protects limited wood resources. Solar cookers bring freedom in particular to the women who do the cooking; for example, girls can go to school instead of searching for firewood. Get your kids ready for the school year by having them make Solar Potatoes for dinner: all you'll need is a bowl, aluminum foil, modeling clay, toothpicks, and chunks of potato to cook (or marshmallows, for dessert!) Cooking instructions are here. If you want to get really into it, you can buy or build an actual solar cooker. While some models cost from $200 to $400, a wide-variety of build-it-yourself plans are available here. (Click on a language link under the cooker that you want to build.) A well-known, simple model is the 'CooKit.' If you don't have time to gather the materials for a CooKit, you can buy a kit for $25 here. Money from your purchase supports the work of Solar Cookers International, a nonprofit that promotes solar cooking around the world. |

 Share the Love...of Recyclingby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer In our community, particularly in Chapel Hill, it's nearly time for the annual influx of newcomers. While some of your new neighbors may be avid recyclers, others may come from towns bereft of the recycling opportunities to which we in Orange County are accustomed. Some may not know how or what to recycle, how to get a recycling bin, or where/what the drop-off sites are. When you introduce yourself, consider asking newcomers if they have a recycling bin. If not, let them know to call the county solid waste department (968.2788) to get one. You might mention that they can recycle cardboard at the curb—particularly all those moving boxes—but remind them of the weekly limit (ten flattened cardboard boxes, each a maximum of 3' x 3'). If they have more, they can take them to a drop-off site or put them out the following week. Styrofoam and airpaks can be brought to local packaging stores for reuse (during working hours only). If your new neighbors seem excited about recycling, direct them to the county's website where they can learn the full spectrum of recyclables and get directions to drop-off sites. Or, send them to this page, where they can sign up for county listserves, including the Solid Waste/Recycling List, library lists, the County Commissioners' list, or the new 'Agriculture News' list. |
