Go Green in 2008: Grocery shopping

Posted by Pinky Bean on January 4, 2008 8:02 AM Filed Under: Food, Life

As we posted earlier this week, you can reduce the amount of food waste you produce by freezing food and carefully planning what to buy. These aren't the only green food-related measures you can take this year.

Green: Paper or plastic? Neither. You've probably seen the reusable shopping bags many supermarkets now offer. Purchase a few to take with you when you shop for groceries.
Greener: Pay attention to food packaging, and if possible, choose the option that uses recyclable material (cardboard as opposed to plastic) or minimal packaging altogether.

Green: Opt for local and organic produce when you can.
Green: If both options aren't available, choose local produce over organic. The food is fresher and wasn't brought in from far-away destinations, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
