As the public becomes more aware of ways to cut down on our carbon footprint – one area to keep in mind is our food intake. Just where does most of our consumption come from?
Beyond the produce sticker on loose fruit at the grocery store sometimes it’s tough to know where your food originated. 
Here’s a cool tool from Fresh Express to check out just how far your salad has traveled. Just type in the code found on the front of your salad mix bag and you’ll learn where your greens originated!

Thanks, sometimes I get a quezzy feeling while eating thinking about how far my food has traveled. Wish more companies would do something like this.
Great Tip!
Thanks Beth! Any tips on how or where to find the best produce grown locally?
Hi Nic!
I would suggest that Philadelphians check out the farmers market in the Piazza open on Saturdays: http://www.greenphillyblog.com/2010/01/22/green-event-saturdays-piazza-farmers-market/ and the Reading Terminal Market. A lot of the produce is grown in PA and NJ. Just be sure to check the label! Once you start doing that it becomes habitual!
