Idea 3

Now through September 27, we will be sharing ways that Sound View has been working to reduce our carbon footprint, and ideas for what we can do at home. We still have a long way to go as an organization, but we are trying to improve every day!

Idea #3: Grow your own food! Eating food grown locally is beneficial to the planet: it reduces emissions from transporting food long distances to get to our plates. Plus if it's done organically, it cuts down on pesticide, herbicide, and synthetic fertilizer use, which also produce a lot of emissions. Food picked and eaten straight out of the garden is also delicious, as any of our campers this summer could tell you :) We hope our camp garden will encourage youth to get interested in growing food from a young age!
