Happy Earth Day from Chicago Market to you. Your interest in a food co-op is just one way of showing your care and concern for the planet. Supporting local food and local food producers promotes sustainable agriculture.

We love this list of 10 ways to eat greener in Chicago from Monica Eng of WBEZ radio. She includes eating locally milled grains and other food on her Top 10 list. (And we hope next year's list will also include "shop at your local food co-op.")

So, how are you observing Earth Day? Or what is one simple thing you do all year-round to help our environment?

(P.S. Becoming a Chicago Market Owner would be a wonderful thing to do on this Earth Day!)
