Pledge to Eat Local to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Many people know that cutting fuel use, recycling, and riding a bike when possible will help curb carbon use, but did you know that the foods we eat also have a carbon footprint of their own?

There are a few simple steps we can take to reduce our food's carbon impact.

This year, take the pledge to reduce your dinner's carbon impact by:

*Going organic
*Avoiding foods grown with large amounts of pesticides
*Eating more legumes and grains
*Eating less meat
*Buying from local farmers
*Eating seasonally available foods

Take the pledge today to support local foods for a healthier world!
