Growing a Greener World Episode 115 - Living Homegrown Fresh

In today’s world, we can eat out-of-season fruit and vegetables on any given day of the year. But there is a price to be paid for such luxuries. On average, the food we eat today travels 1500 miles from farm to fork, having a negative impact on the environment. But many home gardeners are changing that. They are shifting to more sustainable, self-sufficient lives by growing their own food and raising chickens and other livestock right in their own city backyards. They are shortening the distance of travel to only a few steps outside their kitchen door. What they don’t grow themselves, they buy locally and in season. Doing this saves money and the environment at the same time. If we also focus on “keeping it close to home” with our purchases and pursuits, we can achieve a more organic and fresh lifestyle without adversely impacting the environment.
