IDEA: Drink Local

Beer

Drink locally produced wines and beers.

We make some pretty decent beverages here in Aotearoa, so there's no need for wines imported from Chile, or beers from Europe.

Those heavy bottles have got a pretty terrible ratio of weight : volume or price or lifespan or... anything really.

So think global, and act local.

Sally is working on the presentation for tomorrow’s school visit and we’re getting some food on. Tonight we’re being the change by eating some good local produce that Jo bought at the Otago Farmers Market yesterday.

Assuming all else is equal - the thing that's produced closest to the place you buy it requires the least amount of transportation to market, therefore incurs the least amount of 'carbon miles', and is therefore better for the climate so buy local!
