Food

The average plate of food travels over 1,000 miles from the farm to the table and also requires the use of tractors, laborers traveling to and from the farm and pesticides and fertilizers (which are polluting and destroying our water ways and oceans) used by almost all commercial farmers to increase production and yield. Thus, two ways to live more sustainably are to grow your own food and or buy organically raised food (when you can) that is grown and produced locally and sold at farmers markets or by street venders. There are also a myriad of different vegetables that can be grown in victory gardens in urban settings, at home in small gardens or even inside the home in window gardens.
