The Importance of Buying Local
Everlasting Organics seeks to spread awareness about the importance of sustainable farming practices. They hope to encourage their website users to buy locally from farms like their own and seek out alternatives to supermarkets. Stores like these carry produce from corporate food growers that use excessive amounts of pesticides and chemical fertilizers that are damaging both to individuals’ health and the environment. Furthermore, buying from local food growers, like Everlasting Organics, reduces carbon emissions created from shipping food long distances. It also reduces the need for chemicals like ethylene to be used on fruits and vegetables to keep them fresh, making them more nutritious.
