Vultures have an un-feathered part of their face that can turn bright red. This face flushing is an important way for these birds to communicate things like their status in the group, kinda like a colour-coded website update for vultures!

Leftover Makeover
Leftover Makeover
Time:45 min
Difficulty:Easy
It’s really easy to accidentally let food to go waste – like the grated cheese that’s growing fuzz or lettuce that’s turned into goo at the back of the fridge. But with some planning, we can cut back on the amount of food we waste!
- A notebook or some paper
- Something to write with like a pencil, pen, or marker
- Friends or family to join you
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Track!
Any good ol’ detective needs their list! Make a list that you will use to track all food that you sometimes throw out instead of eat (one carrot at the back of the fridge, or that bread that gets a little dry).
Decorate your list with paint, pencils, or markers!
Here is an example of a list to get you started! You can also take a screenshot of this example to keep it handy.
Click on the image below to zoom in!
Step 2: Investigate!
It’s time to grab your detective’s hat! Investigate how and why the family wastes the food you’ve listed.
Step 3: Find better options!
Look at your list, and think about what recipes you could create to “save” some of this food.
Reuse parts of food that you usually throw away: You can turn potato skins into chips, or make a soup base from the bones of your roasted chicken!
Omelets are a great breakfast hack for this: just toss in what didn’t get eaten the night before! Or homemade pizza with leftover meats and veggies as toppings for dinner!!
Step 4: Makeover time!
Make a meal out of leftovers! Team up with a grown-up! Hand over your list and ask them to help you save the planet!
