Buy seasonal fruits and vegetables
These days there are few foods you can’t find in a supermarket year-round. As a consequence, few of us pause to consider whether the food we eat makes sense given the time of year. Eating out-of-season food is an easy way to rack up a huge carbon footprint — either it’s been transported from far away or it’s been grown in an energy-intensive climate-controlled structure. Check out your local farmers market for a top choice of local foods.
