The Way To Live Green

There are many ways to go about living a healthier life. For instance, eating less meat, drinking more water, and finding out what is growing on the farms around you can all help. Some things, such as eating less meat, could prevent the biggest thing we're scared of: global warming. And who is to say that bottled water is any better than tap water? You would be better off drinking tap water than bottled water. Starting with the simple fact that tap water is given to us through a machinery process, and bottled water has all those left over bottles which end up in garbage cans to be put in a landfill (which are already full in the first place). The bottom line is that while tap water may not be as pure, it is still regulated and much less expensive.

When it comes to shopping local, meaning at farms around you, you can save a lot of stress by shopping at farmer's markets. We never stop to think about how far the food in grocery stores has to travel in order to be sold. That’s a waste already; those 1500 or more miles that a truck driver has to travel to get the food to its rightful place wastes gas. So try it: stop at a farmer’s market and pick up a few things it will save much more time, energy, and maybe the world someday.

The best thing to do is take caution in what you're eating, drinking and more. Think about the situation at hand and what it takes to do all this stuff. Remember that we do live in this world and much can be done to keep it that way.
