5.) Make Meatless Monday a family affair
Getting your family to join you for Meatless Monday is a great thing, but sometimes kids aren’t eager to eat more vegetables or experiment with new foods. If they help make the food, they’re proud of their accomplishment and more likely to give it a try. Cooking together also provides a natural time for discussing the impact that food choices have on our bodies and the environment. The more educated kids are about food, the more open they’ll be to healthy, sustainable food choices.

Emphasizing artful and unique bookbinding methods is the exhibit “Folded Books,” which will be on display in Bridwell Art Library. The focus is a small selection of artist’s books which use only glue and folded paper, rather than sewn bindings. A concurrent exhibit in Archives & Special Collections, “Under Cover,” also highlights unique bindings, such as flag books, tunnel books, and ox-plow books. Both exhibits will be on display through April 30.
