Foraging
This is the future. Empty buildings can be retrofitted with vertical stacks of trays where plants grow. Light comes from lamps powered by wind and solar. In a small space, you can raise enough food to feed everyone for two blocks. At the end of the two blocks, put another vertical farm. No fuel is spent distributing the food. This is not THE ANSWER but it’s a start. Talk about it.

You may shop at the farmers’ market, support local restaurants, or make purchases based on the sustainability of the food you eat. But there’s nothing more sustainable than harvesting the food that’s growing right beneath your feet. Plus, it’s just plain fun.
