Farmer's Markets allow people in the community to sell their products locally which has great benefits for the Earth. First the goods sold at Farmer's Markets produces less garbage from packaging, which is almost nonexistent at the market. Also, the less distance traveled by the good, the less gas and pollutants there are emitted into the air. Lastly, the Farmer's Market helps connect a community economically and socially. These ideas are some of the principles of Earth Charter promotes. (Photo by Margaret Brill; copyrighted by Margaret Brill) |

Farmland and fields are plowed over to create hug parking lots where sometimes too many slots stay empty while the bike racks on campus are overflowing with bicycles.
