Think Globally, Eat Locally?
Environmentalists say that one way to lower your carbon load on the planet is to eat food that is produced close to home. They say that eating spinach that was grown 20 miles from home instead of 2000 miles from home means that less energy was expended in getting that spinach to you.If you like the idea of eating locally, check into Restaurant Widow's post on community supported agriculture (CSA) in Central Ohio. Lisa provides a nice explanation of what CSA is, what you might expect from a local farm's CSA program, and a wonderful list of local CSA farmers.
