Born free: Farmed salmon eat several times their weight in seafood. Choose wild Alaskan salmon over farmed Atlantic salmon, and save some sea creatures while helping to keep the oceans healthy.

Other Get Green food choices you can make:
Consider serving a healthy vegetarian dish, like bean enchiladas, instead of meat once a week. Growing crops to feed livestock on a factory farm uses vast amounts of water and fuel and takes a toll on our environment. It is more efficient to feed your family low on the food chain.

Look for the label: USDA Organic seals certify food that is good for the environment and doesn’t use pesticides, genetic engineering, growth hormones, irradiation, or antibiotics. Cook certified organic pasta for dinner; it's delicious and often better for your heart, too!
