What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?

Reducing your paper mail can reduce mental clutter as well as physical waste -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?
By helping to maintain the temperature levels inside the house, I avoid the use of A / C and save energy. In turn, I help the environment by reducing the consumption of oil, and the consequences to the environment that its use causes.
