Go Organic, Local And Sustainable
Published
It's day 9 of the Healthy Recipe Toolbox Challenge.
52% of consumers are buying more organic food and beverages than they did a year ago. Why? Not only are organic foods more accessible, most people believe they’re healthier and more flavorful than nonorganic foods.
The difference between the two lies in the way they’re grown: Organic foods are not grown in soil that contained prohibited substances for at least three years prior to harvest.
Buying local foods is another great step towards sustainability. In fact, research shows buying local helps reduce our carbon footprint by up to 7%.
Not sure where to start? Consider these strategies:
- Purchase your next organic produce locally
- Use a reusable water bottle instead of disposable plastic water bottles
- Try planting a few herbs, fruits and/or vegetables in pots around your house
- Carry reusable bags to all stores, not just the supermarket
