Today while enjoying Atlanta's unseasonably warm weather my sister and I rode our bike to Sevenanda, a natural foods market in Little Five Points that sells local products. On our way over I realized something: when you buy local products you are already reducing your carbon footprint because there is so much less transportation involved and local farms are usually much lower impact than factory farms, but when you pair that with a method of transportation alternative to driving you are lowering your carbon footprint even more.
So when you’re checking out one of the farmers’ markets we posted below or trying a restaurant that serves local food, pick one that you don’t have to drive to.
Get on your bikes and ride!
