Reduce Your Food Miles
Food miles are the distance your food travels from the grower to your plate. The more food miles, the more fuel used, and the more CO2 emissions. The benefits are fresher foods and supporting your local growers. Check labels to find food from the closest source; shop at your local Farmer’s Market to find locations; join a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. With membership, a local farmer will provide you with a weekly harvest of seasonal food, then type in your zip code to find one near you).
