Food Travels

Thanks to a printout from the Queens Botanical Garden I learned that fruits and vegetables in the U.S. travel, on average, 1,300 to 2,000 miles from farm to table.
WOW! That's a large carbon foot making a large carbon footprint!
I'm gonna start looking for more locally grown food and help to reduce or eliminate (yeah, right) wasteful energy consumption.
