Eating more sustainably doesn’t have to be difficult. Small things can help to make a big difference in our environment. Here are several easy ways to be more eco-conscious:
- Buy locally grown foods or organic
Support farms that nurture the soil and avoid chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Check out www.localharvest.org for farms near you.
- Go plastic free
Save leftovers in glass or wrap baked goods with dishtowels.
Choose products with recyclable packaging.
- Turn on your oven less often
Bake a chicken and roast some veggies together–save time—save energy
- Use the whole veggie
Eat cauliflower and broccoli stems, greens on beets or celery inner leaves for a healthier, more eco-friendly you!
