This month's 'Sustainable Me Challenge' is to grow something. Most of our produce is trucked, shipped or flown and it accumulates greenhouse gas emissions with every kilometre travelled. To help our environment we should at least buy local, where we can, and grow some of our own food.
Here's What The Challenge Suggests:
Beginner:
Buy local. Look for NZ grown produce at the supermarket or visit your local farmer's market or farm shop.
Step it up:
Plant something. Start with strawberries, lettuce, spinach, herbs, etc
Want more? Grow more!
Challenge yourself to grow something new or grow everything you need for an entire meal. Or if you're already a keen gardener help someone else set up a garden.
Every little bit helps!
