I agree. In fact, I’ve started growing quite a few things (food-wise) here – definitely local

- Hi Pat,
This isn’t an all-or-nothing game – small changes really do help. With things like the citrus drinks, if there are only imports available, buy them (although where possible, reach for those from Florida before those from Brazil).
When it comes to other types of foods, there are a few things that almost everyone can grow themselves. Something as simple as growing some of your own vegetables (either indoors or outdoors) can make an enormous difference in the long-run.

Nice one Christina. Great advice. - CFLs and Mercury
Cheers Bhujangadev.Rob, I’m looking closely at LED lighting here too. Still a little pricey, but a lot less power hungry.
As for the worm bin, try to keep it close to the kitchen.

Nice post Christina. #9 is particularly relevant in my case – I eat anything that isn’t nailed down - Monitoring Your Energy Usage
Tripled? Ouch! I suspect it’s more than just the heater. What other devices are in the room?

I knew you’d like this post.
I love local! Not only do we grow some of our own veggies (in pots on our deck- so I know anyone can do it) but I bike to the local farmers market as often as possible. Good quality food, good people and good prices. Great combination!
Good reminder and suggestion Rob!
So is eating local just a buzzword – or does it actually mean something? In my opinion cheaper will always win. Besides I live in Canada and don’t intend to stop drinking my citrus drinks just becaus emy climate is Sub-arctic.
The Walrus mag has been hashing this out too at http://walrusmagazine.com/articles/2007.09.26-alphabet-city-discussion-two-eat-local/
