Here are some things you can do to promote good health for you and a healthy environment for the earth:

1. Buy food in bulk to reduce packaging.
2. Buy foods that have been processed as little as possible.
3. Buy reusable canvas bags for groceries instead of using paper or plastic bags from the store.
4. Reuse food containers.
5. Eat local foods in season instead of imported, out-of-season foods.
6. Patronize restaurants  that are members of a national and regional group of chefs promoting local and sustainable food products.
7. Compost your food scraps (excluding meat) to reduce garbage and enrich the soil.
8. Ask produce managers at your local grocery stores to stock local and organic foods, if they do not already do so.
