Week 15: I resolve to shop locally (so I travel less) and buy locally produced goods (so they travel less) to reduce my overall contribution to greenhouse gas emissions.
Date: 14-Apr-09
One way I can achieve this resolution is to shop at my local farmers' or growers' market. Not only can I enjoy my shopping experience much more, but I can rest assured I am supporting local producers and sourcing locally. Plus, it often tastes better too! I can visit www.farmersmarkets.org.au to find my nearest farmers market.
Shopping at macro-food stores or joining an organic food club are other ways I can travel less and help my food travel less.
Commitment Statement
