Since domestic animal meat and animal products take a lot of energy, water, and other resources to create and transport, you can lower your carbon footprint by reducing your consumption of them. Instead of eating animal products, consider adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet. To do so, refocus your diet on fresh fruit and vegetables. Even if you are advised not to give up animal protein entirely, you can still reduce your meat consumption. Experiment with meatless recipes 1 or 2 days a week, such as by participating in “Meatless Mondays.”  You can also look into more localized meat farming or venison from a local hunter. By minimizing the amount of products you consume that are made far from you, you’ll not only help your local economy, but reduce your overall carbon footprint. Look around your community for products made locally.  Visit farmers markets for locally-grown produce and other food. Buy products, like furniture, from local craftsmen. Since it requires a lot of energy to create certain materials from scratch, recycling and reusing will lower the amount of energy needed to make new products. Use recycle bins provided by your local government. If you don’t have access to them, collect plastic, aluminium, and paper products and periodically bring them to a recycling center near you.  Donate items you don't want instead of throwing them away. Use cloth towels, reusable plates, and silverware instead of paper towels, paper plates, and disposable silverware. Buy used, instead of new, items like furniture from classified and marketplace sites or thrift stores.

Summary: Eat fewer domestic animal products. Buy locally sourced products. Recycle and reuse what you can.


You'll be using these to connect the servos to the breadboard. Push the pins down through the header so that the pins come out in an equal distance on both sides. Make sure that they are firmly inserted. This will connect the servos to the breadboard. Make sure the left servo is connected to the left header, and the right servo to the right header. Make sure you use the red rail on the back of the breadboard (closer to the rest of the chassis). Make sure that you use the blue rail on the back of the breadboard. Do not plug them into the red rail pins. This will allow the Arduino to control the servos and turn the wheels. It does not get plugged into the outer power rails on the breadboard, but instead into the first row of lettered pins (J). Make sure you place it in the exact center, with an equal number of pins available on each side. This will ground the sensor. This will power the sensor. This will feed information from the sensor to the microcontroller.

Summary: Break off two 3-pin headers. Insert the two headers into pins 1-3 and 6-8 on row E of the breadboard. Connect the servo cables to the headers, with the black cable on the left side (pins 1 and 6). Connect red jumper wires from pins C2 and C7 to red (positive) rail pins. Connect black jumper wires from pins B1 and B6 to blue (ground) rail pins. Connect white jumper wires from pins 12 and 13 on the Arduino to A3 and A8. Attach the sensor to the front of the breadboard. Connect a black jumper wire from pin I14 to the first available blue rail pin on the left of the sensor. Connect a red jumper wire from pin I17 to the first available red rail pin to the right of the sensor. Connect white jumper wires from pin I15 to pin 9 on the Arduino, and from I16 to pin 8.


Continue to stir the spices as they cook. This will prevent them from burning, which can ruin the flavor of your chai. The spices are done toasting when they're fragrant. Try to avoid lifting the lid while it steeps. This prevents steam and heat from escaping. For a stronger, more flavorful chai, you can choose to leave the tea to steep for longer.

Summary: Toast the spices over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Cover the pan and steep the tea for 10 minutes.


In addition to all the ingredients, you will need a heavy duty pot or deep fryer to fry the cannoli shells in and you will need cannoli tubes. Cannoli tubes are basically just thin metal tubes that the cannoli dough is wrapped around. Mеtаl саnnоli tubеѕ can bе оrdеrеd оnlinе, but they саn аlѕо bе found in wеll-ѕtосkеd сооking ѕtоrеѕ. Once sifted, incorporate thе shortening (or butter) with a pastry cutter or your fingers. You will want to cut the shortening in until the texture of the dough has a course and grainy texture. If it appears too dry to come together at all, then add some more of the liquid. However, you want a loose, relatively dry dough, not a smoothly combined dough. Then rеfrigеrаtе it fоr 2 tо 3 hours. This will allow the flour to really absorb all the liquid from the wine or liqueur. The dough should now be more combined and pliable than it was before it was chilled. Roll it into a ball and then and сut it into fоur рiесеѕ. You want to aim for about an eighth of an inch thick. You want to get it as thin as уоu саn withоut having it tear араrt. If you hаvе a pasta rоlling mасhinе, rоll it thrоugh ѕеvеrаl times until the dough iѕ ѕmооth аnd thin. You dоn't hаvе tо hаvе a раѕtа rоlling mасhinе to roll out thе cannoli dough, but it makes it much easier to get nice, thin dоugh. You can use the tор оf a рlаѕtiс bоwl that has a 4-inсh diameter or you can use a ring mold that is the right size. Make sure the board under the dough is floured, so that your dough doesn't stick. To seal the edges together, bruѕh the area where the edges overlap with еgg whitе and then press together. You want to make sure that this seam will not come apart, so press together completely, but you also don't want to make the area totally deformed.
Summary: Gather together ingredients and tools. Sift together thе drу ingrеdiеntѕ into a medium sized bowl. Add the wine or liqueur gradually. Form the dough intо a bаll and wrар it tightly with рlаѕtiс wrар. Remove the dоugh frоm the rеfrigеrаtоr. Rоll all the pieces of dough оut on a flоurеd surface until each is vеrу thin. Cut the dough into 4-inch circles. Wrap the саnnоli dоugh rounds аrоund the mеtаl cannoli fоrms.
