    The switch to organic foods is worth it, not only are they good for the environment but they also taste better.

    My local community is resilient to shock events like we’ve experienced recently, for many reasons. One being that it is a small community compared to others and is also very tight knit. When things go wrong the support of the community is there to help everyone.

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

    Maybe not at this moment but we can work towards eating foods that aren't harmful to the environment. There are a lot of great alternative to harmful products and buying organic is one of them.

    Changing lightbulbs is an excellent first step toward energy efficiency! In what other ways can you exercise your civic duty to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions?

    Lightbulbs is a start to having a more eco-friendly house. Electricity wise, in our own homes we can look at the appliances we have and see ways to have more eco-friendly appliance and getting rid of or reducing the use of harmful ones.
