Green tip:

When searching for produce this summer don't forget to buy local. Not only does buying local support your community, but it is cuts down on the amount of gasoline consumed in transportation from the field to your plate.

Use the following websites to find local produce:  www.michiganfarmfun.com or www.localharvest.org

Michigan Arbor Day Alliance wants to hear your green tips! Send us a green tip and we will post it on the website and facebook. Email your green tip to, miarborday@gmail.com, please put green tip in subject line. We can't wait to post all of the new ideas!
