Green Tip #32
Local Farmer's Market in Decatur, Illinois

Next Saturday (or Tuesday) plan a visit to the Decatur, Illinois Central Park farmer's market and load up your reusable bag with the freshest produce and goods.

Buying locally supports local farmers in our community, and it reduces your carbon footprint because nothing was shipped overseas to arrive in your hands.

You'll not only find wonderfully fresh fruits and veggies (the peaches were spectacular last week!), but you'll typically get a good dose of people in as well.
