EATING
GREEN
Our food choices affect a lot of things-For example, the amounts of water and fuel we use up,
the amount of trash we throw away, the amount of pesticides we put into the soil, and how
healthy we are. The good news is that making Earth-Friendly food choices is an easy (and
tasty) way to help the planet several times a day
What´s That? A pesticide
is a substance used to kill
insects that may eat
crops.

01 Eat organic food when you can. ___________________________________ may use chemicals
that harm the environment.

02 _________________________________________. Instead of driving to the supermarket and

buying food that has been driven, flown, or shipped to your town, you can just go outside and
pick your own.

03 When you buy packaged food, read the label. __________________________________you

can´t pronounce, you might want to think twice about eating it. It may be unhealthy, and it
certainly won´t be organic. Labels will also tell if the food is organic or not.

04 Better still, __________________________________________________.

05 Eat “____________________________”. They use up less energy to produce and are usually
better for you.

06 _____________________________________________. It takes much less fuel to transport

local foods to your farmers market or local store than to import food from other countries or
states.

07 _______________________________________________. If you live in a big town and can buy

strawberries during the dead winter, you can bet that the strawberries were grown a long way
away.
