Miles and smiles
Posted Tuesday, 21 February 2012 / Written by The Twig
One of the driving factors behind our love of all things local and seasonal is, of course, the environment. Eating locally is a really simple way of reducing your food miles and your CO2 footprint. Earlier this week we were sent this really simple food miles calculator. Not only does it tell you how far your food has travelled, it will also give an estimate of the CO2 produced, depending on how it was transported. Get the kids checking how far their food has travelled and learning geography at the same time. We've found it weirdly addictive!
