When planning your meals, be sure to consider the impact your choices have on the environment. Some great ways to be kind to the earth:
1. Buy in bulk - bulk buying reduces the amount of packaging used
2. Buy local - help support community farms and reduce the amount of gas used to transport your food
3. Reduce meat consumption - the livestock industry alone is responsible for nearly one-fifth of the greenhouse gases —more than all transportation
4. Buy organic - reduce the amount of pesticides your family is exposed to and help support farmers who protect the planet with their farming techniques
5. Compost - help reduce the impact to landfills by composting as much food waste as possible check out www.compostguide.com for composting tips
