You can help save our planet… fight global warming with your knife and fork… what do I mean by this? Eat organic… eat local. Organic farming uses 30-50% less fossil fuels than conventional farming and helps store carbon in the soil – instead of the atmosphere. Eating local saves energy too… so support your local farmers and help save our planet! Did you know that the average bit of food travels 1,500 miles to reach your plate?
