Support small farms and protect the planet by eating locally grown, seasonal food as often as possible. In addition to shopping farmers markets and checking produce labels to find the source of your fruits and veggies, consult the Consumer's Guide to Sustainable Seafood (at montereybayaquarium.org) before you buy any type of fish.
