Putting Sustainable Habits into Effect

I am really excited about trying out the “green market” in Fort Myer’s Centennial Park. After learning that shopping locally is one of the best ways to cut down on importing and exporting costs as well as pollution, I decided to adopt this habit into my lifestyle. After being informed that this market was available every Thursday from seven in the morning till two in the afternoon, I made a note on my planner to visit this destination. Also, after looking up this farmers market online, I was also pleased to find out that they are open year round; that is very convenient! The online article also mentioned that this market has fruits, flowers, vegetables, native plants, palms, flowering plants, baked goods, local seafood, and ethnic specialties available. I had no idea they would carry such a wide variety of items. This news was so practical, I spread the message to my parents and got them on board as well! Hopefully they will spread the message to their friends; eventually, if the demand is strong enough, they might offer some more “green markets” closer to my home!
