LOCAL PRODUCE

Buy locally raised, humane, and organic meat, eggs, and dairy whenever you can. Purchasing from local farmers keeps money in the local economy. The supermarkets are full of food that’s transported from the far corners of the globe at huge cost to the environment. Some of its not available locally and, as I’ve tried to say all through this piece, lets keep it simple and practical. I’m not going to get all holier-than-thou green if someone fancies an out-of-season peach from the middle-east. All I’m saying is that there is often a choice and, wherever there is, locally produced food is likely to be tastier, fresher, and kinder to the environment than stuff thats been shipped half way around the world.
