There are a lot of small ways you can help!
➡Avoid plastic packaging when buying produce and in general
➡ Plan your meals and make a grocery list before going shopping. This will make sure you don't buy more than you need.
➡Compost! Learn more about how to compost here or here
➡Shop at local farmer's markets- find one near you here. Buying local will reduce the
carbon footprint created to transport food from a larger farm.
➡Keep track of expiration dates and best by dates. If something is close to expiring, be sure to use it!
➡ A list of resturaunts that locally source produce at
