As we look ahead to the new year and set our resolutions, it's important to remember that sustainability should be a key part of our journey.

One area where we can make a real impact is in our food choices. Eating more fruits and vegetables is a great way to improve our health and well-being. Studies have shown that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. This year, consider setting a goal to eat a certain number of servings of fruits and vegetables per day or week, or try to eat a rainbow of different colored fruits and vegetables.

Another great way to incorporate more fresh produce into our diet and reduce our environmental impact is by starting a vegetable garden. Not only is it a fun and rewarding activity, but it also helps to reduce the distance our food travels and the carbon footprint associated with food production and transportation. Gardening can be a great way to connect with nature and learn about the process of growing our own food.

In addition to these sustainable new year resolutions related to food, we can also look for other ways to reduce our environmental impact. Simple things like reducing food waste, choosing locally-sourced and seasonal products, or supporting sustainable farming practices can all make a big difference. By incorporating these sustainable habits into our lives, we can not only improve our own health and well-being, but also make a positive impact on the environment.
