A study published in Nature Food estimates global food transportation at 3 billion tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually, 3.5-7.5 times larger than previous estimates. Eat local this Thanksgiving! Grass-fed turkeys can be ordered from meat sellers at local farmers' markets. Pumpkins or butternut squash can be boiled down to make delicious pumpkin pie. Also available locally are fresh apples, pears, grapes, potatoes, carrots, onions, tomatoes, cranberries, and many green vegetables.
