Support your local food supply.

By doing the following:

  • Shop at farmers markets.
  • Buy local or US grown produce, when possible.

Avoid environmentally-demanding foods.

Such as:

  • Animal-based foods (inc. fish & honey)

Place an emphasis on whole, plant-based foods rather than processed or packaged foods.
