Earth Day has quickly come upon us, springing up silently behind Easter. Depending on how you generally celebrate Earth Day – perhaps you plant a tree, start your family garden, or take an extra trip to the recycling center – there are a number of ways you can ‘go green’ at least one day a year to recognize the Earth Day Movement. One really easy thing to do is eat out. Yup, you heard me right – eat out. Support a local business and celebrate Earth Day all at the same time! Going to a local Farm To Table restaurant will support a local business and the money will be poured back into the local economy – you are not only supporting the restaurant, but the farmers who work to sell the local ingredients each restaurant uses to serve up each delicious masterpiece.
