Green on the Go
Buying locally grown food means fewer fossil fuels are used to truck it to you. That's a good thing, because these days food isn't just shipped around the country, it's shipped all over the world! The average morsel of food travels about 1,300 to 1,500 miles from farm to plate in the United States. That's some well-traveled food! Some experts estimate that it takes almost as much energy to ship food as it does to grow it. That's a lot of energy. In addition, the jury is out on the exact figure, but it's said to take more energy (in calories) to produce and ship food today than we actually get from eating it. Buying locally grown food is a simple way to change that equation for the better and get the most for your money. The bottom line is that local food is fresher, tastes better, and saves energy. Everybody wins.
