Now you know that the biggest contributor to global warming is carbon dioxide, which comes largely from vehicle emissions. Consolidating the number of cars and trucks on the road will help stop global warming and radically reduce our dependency on fossil fuels. A particularly simple way to reduce the number of vehicles on the highway is to save yourself a trip and have your groceries delivered to you or shop locally in a place closest to your home.
The delivery vehicle will make multiple stops in your neighborhood, reducing the number of
kilometers traveled in total and cleared the roads of sunken and charred cars. Most major supermarket chains, including Vons and Safeway, now offer free or discounted delivery for larger orders.
They also stock many organic foods produced without the use of petrochemical pesticides that contribute to global warming. So you can buy healthy food, save time and reduce air pollution at the same time.
For organic goods delivered fresh to your door, check out Misfits market, Farm fresh to you, Farmbox direct, and Diamond Organics. They offer a wide range of organic and sustainably produced fresh produce via FedEx from their Northern California headquarters.
