What can I do to help?
There are many ways to grow an eco-friendly food lifestyle! All of these steps are easy but meaningful tasks that you can complete to help the environment! Buying organic products helps combat the use of pesticides and other chemicals, which often end up in bodies of water and harm the aquatic life. Local food from farmer's markets helps reduce the distance that food travels and the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. Even better, there are no transportation emissions if your food comes from your own yard!
