How to Help Save the Earth

3.Buy local goods

Buying local helps combat air pollution in two ways. You don't have to travel as far to get what you need, and products don't have to travel as far to get to you, either. Making smart choices about where your food, clothes, and other goods come from can help make a dent in air pollution. Shop at farmer's markets and buy food that was produced as close to your home as possible. When you're online shopping, pay attention to how far the items you order will travel before they arrive. Try to find items that won't have to travel long distances. Pay attention to where your clothes, electronics, home goods, and other possessions were made. As much as possible, buy items that were made in your region.
