1. Attempt to grow a plant in your window- mint to put in your tea or rosemary for other meals. Reuse a lemon by putting it in the garbage disposal to clean the blade and add a fresh scent to your sink.
2. Make your own food occasionally. Start by maybe adding a homegrown tomato to your sandwich and then gradually try to create your own meal. Take a break from the cafeteria, fast food, kraft easy mac, etc. and make something that only requires one pan or pot such as sautéed vegetables or chili (if you have a community kitchen).
3. Learn the origins of the food you buy, and buy the produce that is closest to campus.
4. Go to a farmers market on campus or in town and ask the farmers about how they grow their food.
5. Learn and research industrial food production when you can. It is important to know where your food is coming from and how it was treated before it made its way towards you and inside of you. Investigate online or ask whoever prepared it for you.
6. Learn how to properly grow and raise your own fruits, vegetables, etc. Maybe you will enjoy gardening and want to grow your own herbs or vegetables.
7. Learn as much as you can, by direct observation and experience if possible, of the life histories of the food species. You can do research in the library for more information.
