Environmentally Friendly Eating

Working with my fellow environmentally friendly eating enthusiasts on this recent tabling event was awesome. We learned a lot about where the food at Temple's dining services comes from, how many miles it travels from distribution centers just to get to our plates, and how that effects the environment on a basic level. We learned that just because something is healthy for your body to eat it doesn't mean that it's healthy for the air around us! Tabling for two nights in the Student Center was extremely entertaining and rewarding, as we got to educate those who were interested in our information, and talking with students outside the group always brings a new flavor into the experience. Remember that eating locally, seasonally, and organically are not always the easiest option, but if you are dedicated to the cause of our planet, it's a small step to take :-)
