As we celebrated World Environment Day, the Adath Israel Green Team is encouraging everyone to do something to help restore our planet. Small actions can make a big difference.
For example, did you know that we can help save the planet with our forks?
On average, fruits and vegetables travel 1,300-2000 miles to get from farms to stores in our area. The ships, planes, and trucks used to transport food use a lot of fuel, which pollutes our water, air, and land. When we grow our own produce in season or buy it from a farmer’s market, we are improving our nutrient intake, saving money, and making a better choice for the environment. Some seasonal fruits for the month of June are apricots, watermelon, and peaches. Enjoy local, seasonal produce this summer, in order to make a difference and leave a green legacy.
Stay tuned for more tips from The Adath Israel Green Team.
