Eating Local
Globalization has introduced new foods from all over the world, but with growing markets comes increased transportation. Reduce your carbon footprint by visiting farmers' markets and eating locally grown food. |
Grow Your Own
A city setting may not be practical for a vegetable garden, but there are plenty of herbs and spices that can be grown in any size apartment. |
Organic Food
Organic food is often touted as being far superior to "regular" food, but the increased price is may not be worth the suggested benefits. While organic food isn't a bad choice, you should be aware of what you're really paying for. |
Meatless Mondays
The American meat industry is far from environmentally friendly, but vegetarianism and veganism are usually not practical or even recommended options. Reducing your meat consumption will reduce your carbon footprint. |
Bees
Bees are some of nature's most important helpers, but America is in the midst of a bee crisis. Luckily, it isn't hard to help the bees as they maintain biodiversity in our ecosystems. |
