Save the Earth - it’s where I keep all my stuff!

Go to a farmer’s market.
Check Local Harvest or the Eat Well Guide. Another resource that is still under construction (but has a bunch of interesting information) is Food Routes.org.
Buy “low milage” food.
Start small if you need to, and select foods that are from closer to you if you aren’t quite ready to eat local. Every mile food has to travel means more air pollution, water pollution and higher prices for fossil fuels. Agriculture and food distribution accounts for over one fifth of our consumption of fossil fuels. Your food may seem cheap, but don’t forget you’re also paying for it at the pump!
Not sure where someplace is? Check Google Maps. Make a game of it with the kids and turn shopping into a fun educational experience!
