Home Grown.
Save some green while going green! If you want to do your part to help preserve our natural resources for the generations to come, try growing your own food. Planting a few simple crops that you can use yourself, such as a few tomato plants, which will yield enough tomatoes to feed your family all summer long, will save you money while contributing to taking care of the planet. You save gas on your own end by cutting out trips to the grocery store, and you cut down on gas-expenditures globally by discouraging the shipment of produce across long distances. If your brown thumbs keep you from growing your own, consider checking out community gardens and local farmers’ markets to find your produce.
It’s one more example of how the rising price of gas is going to back us all into a corner where we have no choice but to try newer, greener approaches. I’m going to buy myself a few tomato plants this weekend!
