Some locally grown fruits—and also some of my favourite! From the top left: passionfruit, lansones, bananas, rambutan, dalandan (local oranges), two random limes, pink dragonfruit/pitaya, and mangoes. Which of these have you tried? ?

In the past few weeks I’ve become more conscious of where my food comes from. I opt for locally grown produce whenever I can. Not only is this better to help support local farmers, but it’s also better for our environment since some fruits that end up in our grocery stores and fruit stands are flown in from all parts of the globe. Producing fruits and vegetables of course require less energy and resources as compared to meat and dairy products but transporting them can sometimes equal to an even higher carbon footprint.

Though of course with this comes the fact that I still buy imported produce and other goods that are flown in from abroad, contributing to my own carbon footprint. I’m slowly trying to change my ways and make better, more mindful decisions. I really believe it starts with being more conscious. At the same time, I don’t know where exactly some of these produce came from—and by saying that I know they’re from the Philippines and were grown in a certain province, but I don’t know who grew them. With this, I want to support produce from local, small-scale, and family-owned farms if I can. This way I can support their livelihoods and better agricultural practices. It’s a start and I’m still trying to learn more about how I can go about these things but I’m happy that I’m slowly becoming more conscious of my actions and how I can alter some of my choices to do better.

Just some Monday thoughts. ✨
