DAY 38
BUY LOCAL
Support your community and BUY LOCAL. Most areas have a weekly farmers market--when is yours?
While we’re at it, buy American; our environmental standards are a lot higher than most other countries and right now, we need to keep as much revenue as possible at home.

Challenge: Where is the closest farmer’s market? Have you considered joining a community supported agriculture co-op? A healthy diet supports a healthy environment--it can also support your local economy...
