Eco-friendly Eating
 SF Gate has a great article about cutting back on carbon emissions by eating local foods.  They report that 17% of the fuel burned in this country is consumed by the production and transportation of our food supply.  They suggest doing a few things to counter that:

Eat Locally - Food from other areas has to be transported in gas-guzzling trucks, ships and planes.
Eat Organic - cuts down on the energy consumed to manufacture fertilizers and pesticides. 
Eat Whole Foods - the processing of packaged foods uses up 16% of the energy used for processing food.
Drink Tap Water - bottled water rides in a truck.
Eat pasture-raised meat from animals that haven't been trucked to feedlots.
Eat foods that are in season.

Check out SF Gate's article for more info.
