    Action Track: Building Resilience Support Local Food Systems
    Dependable fresh food, supporting local farmers and building resilient communities are just a few benefits of local food systems. Which of these (or other) advantages inspire you the most?

    I have visited an organic farm before and have seen the impact local farmers can make on the community. If they are supported, they will continue to grow and become more popular over time. If I choose to eat organic and share this with others, it may influence them to try it as well.

    Electricity Choose LED Bulbs
    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! What's next for you?

    I use led light bulbs when possible. If I am buying lightbulbs I will buy LED but sometimes lightbulbs are automatically installed. Next would be to switch all lightbulbs to led to make the whole house more efficient. This would involve my roommates to switch over as well.

    It is often said that “you can’t feed the world with just organic food.” What is your response to that statement?

    There are many places organic food is not offered and it can be more expensive so I do understand where they are coming from, but there are plenty of opportunities to go organic when possible and local organic farming is obtainable in most areas
