DAY 37

BUY PRODUCE IN-SEASON

Most food travels thousands of miles before reaching your plate. Slash emissions by making sure the produce you buy is in-season--this is good for the local farmers too!

Challenge: Most produce stickers list the country of origin; calculate the total distance all of the your produce traveled in order to reach your home.
