Use Your Local Farmers Market

I know it's hard to get up early on a Saturday morning, and go to your local farmers market in town to buy baked goods and produce. But this is one way to reduce the amount of goods being shipped in from far away, and thus we save energy. Also,the baked goods and produce might be of better quality than the stored bought items.

If you can, locate an apple orchard near you, and go out and buy a bushel of apples. Make your own apple sauce. It's easy to make apple sauce. Now you have preservative free apple sauce. Take your apple sauce to the farmers market and sell it.
