Go on a low-carbon diet...

[c9]

Care about the environment? Then buy less fruits that travelled thousands of kilometres to get to your table! Think about the truck exhaust when you buy pineapples and bananas and macadamia nuts and coffee and the list goes on and on. Obviously just stopping won't happen, but just consider reducing. Locally-produced food and drink means less travel and less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

So sayeth

David Suzuki

I know that leapfish won't like this idea, but they suggest locally produced wines as one way to alter consumption...

Show me a way to make bananas and coffee in my backyard and I will *so* go for it. Tell ya what -- I'll only buy South American coffee, rather than the infinitely superior African or Pacific Rim stuff I *could* be buying, OK?
