Hi, I'm Stephen Monet, Manager of Environmental Planning Initiatives
with the City of Greater Sudbury, and this is EarthCare Minute.
Eating local food reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that result
from shipping
and also helps our local economy. The Eat Local Sudbury cooperative keeps its
shelves and fridge full
in the winter with meats, cheeses, grains, honey, teas,
and preserves, all from Greater Sudbury and the surrounding area.
Some local fruits and vegetables are available through the winter months
such as apples, squash, cabbage, and root vegetables,
like potatoes, beets, and onions. Learning how to preserve your own food can be a
valuable skill that helps you stock your own cupboards in the winter.
Knowing the proper methods is very important to avoid spoilage
or dangerous bacterial growth on the food. Remember that local foods are still
a viable
and delicious option, even in winter. EarthCare Minute.
