9 Eco-Friendly Ways to Go Green, Buy Local and Organic from Metropolitan Market

And when you can: buy local and buy organic

Imagine all the packaging and fuel that’s used to ship products and goods from all over the world. Buying locally made or locally grown products cuts down those food miles and the carbon emissions that come with it. Buying organic produce is also a great way to support the environment. In non-organic farming, potentially harmful pesticides and fertilizers may be used and could spread to nearby areas via water runoff. So when you can, look for produce that’s both local AND organic, but if that’s not available, reach next for local produce, and then organic.

Pro-tip: You know those little stickers on fruits and veggies at the grocery store, with the numbers on them? If that number starts with a 9, it’s organic!
