This poster image, from an original oil painting, moves us head-on into one of the best ways of fighting climate change: eating with the seasons. Shopping at local farmers’ markets contributes to a reduction in our carbon footprint. And, it’s fun. Transportation accounts for the biggest, overall, contributor to greenhouse gasses. Eating locally sourced foods reduces the energy resources required for transport and storage of foods grown elsewhere. Knowing where our food comes from, meeting our local farmers not only produces a sense of pride and community but is essential for making Rhode Island a livable state where life flourishes.
