**Title:** Making Zero-Waste Pizza from Scratch
**Host:** Ari, a creator of environmental content at BuzzFeed
**Challenge:** Make a pizza with minimal to no waste
**Summary:**
* Ari attempts to make a zero-waste pizza, sharing her process and tips for reducing waste.
* She shops for ingredients in bulk, uses reusable containers, and chooses products with minimal packaging.
* Ari makes a margarita pizza from scratch, including the dough, tomato sauce (using fresh tomatoes instead of canned), and vegan parmesan cheese.
* Throughout the process, she reflects on the challenges of zero-waste living and the importance of reducing plastic use.
* The pizzas are successfully made with only one noted instance of waste (a yeast packet).
* Friends taste and praise the pizzas, highlighting the fresh flavors and fluffy crust.
**Key Takeaway:** Zero-waste living is about making an effort to minimize waste, not achieving perfection, and small changes can make a significant impact.
