Spring is a season of renewal—an invitation to rethink how we consume and care for the earth. This month, knowing that food in the U.S. travels an average of 1,500 miles to reach your plate, challenge yourself to buy from a local farm and connect with the people who grow at least some of your food. Also, knowing that U.S. waste generation has increased by about 93% since 1980, reaching nearly 300 million tons annually. Take the chance to promote secondhand consumption by supporting the UU Princeton Spring Sale on May 1st & 2nd either by donating, shopping, or volunteering.
By the way, May 1st is a Day of Economic Action. Find out more here: https://indivisible.org/campaigns/may-day-participation-guide/
But you can take action everyday by always considering the power of where you spend your money. Every purchase you make sends a message to corporations and policymakers about the kind of world you want to support.
