Do You Know Where Your Produce Is From?

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

Ready to remove toxic cleaners from your home? Find out how!

Today, I’m over at Green…Your Way talking about reading produce labels and passing up produce that is shipped from far away places in favor of locally grown, in season produce.

From the post:

Just as I am committed to reading ingredient labels on the food we buy, I also make sure to check the labels on the produce that I’m considering buying too.  Most food travels an average of 1,400 miles before arriving at our grocery stores.  All of that food travel has a huge environmental impact, and by choosing to pass up food that has traveled long distances, we can help to lessen that impact.

    Just a little heads up–Your second link to “Green…Your Way” is wrong. I think you copied and pasted the wrong thing. 🙂
    The first one is correct, though, so I’m headed over to read it right now. 🙂
