We’re growing our own salad. It’s delicious, nutricious and no carbon footprint walking across the yard.

I try to go to the store more frequently, about 3 times a week on my way home. I only buy what I want to eat in the next two days. The veggies stay super fresh and healthy because they don’t have time to break down. I go to the farmer’s market on Saturdays where I buy fruits and veggies that won’t go bad as fast. Plus, when I get home, I cut my greens and immerse them in water, then put it in the fridge (works for wilted parts) which keeps them super crisp longer. I also do this for my carrots, which can make them stretch for weeks.
I also have some Eco cloth veggie bags that stay in my car for when I go to the store suddenly.

While I know that the competition is now over I would like to say…

I avoid processed foods, mostly because they are bland and tasteless (unless you consider MSG a flavour). This includes foods and drinks with additives (yeah, they add even additives and preservatives to beer!).

I do my best to get all products in either paper or glass. Not only can you recycle these (and I do) but they also preserve flavours that much better.

When possible I go with the freerange/organic option. Mostly because I’m terrified of all the hormones and other stimulants pumped into everything we consume.

I must concede that I don’t do these things out of civic duty or because it’s the right thing to do, I simple do it because it tastes better. I’ve always thought so, hopefully it will always be so.

My husband has expanded his vegetable garden and I have tried to cook with fresh foods, use less meat and avoid pre-packaged foods as much as possible. Gone are the days of TV Dinners.

Well never made this fact known before… but we wash our ziplock bags and use them over and over instead of throwing them out after one use. One small way to keep a little plastic out of the landfill.

I purchase as much of my food as possible from my local farmers’ market. Almost all of the produce I eat is organic, if it isn’t local. Meat is more of an occasional indulgence for me, instead of a given at a meal, and always from a free range / grass fed source. And I always try to make sure that my seafood choices are sustainable, usually species at the bottom of the food chain (like squid, bivalves, or small fish). I also grow my own herbs and lettuce, and I’m going to try my hand at tomatoes this season.
