Eco-Cooking

As you may know, I am a Vegetarian. But You don't have to be Vegetarian to eat naturally. Many of you probably live near a Farmer's market. Farmer's Markets are great places to find fresh, organic vegetables that will add tons of nutritional value to your meals. By cutting down on traveling foods, and adding more local salads and a lot of Quinoa (A mix between rice and pasta) to your diet, you can help the environment without being totally Vegetarian or Vegan. Traveling foods are foods that come from far away places, like Asia, or even Mexico. These foods use up tons of gasses, labor and energy to get to your plate.

Phosphates

Phosphates are a big problem in the world. They kill off fish, and cause Algal blooms. Phosphates are chemicals, often found in fertilizers, Phosphates are now getting into protected waters, and killing of endangered sea life. The phosphates are becoming one of the largest fish-consumed chemicals.  An Algal bloom is when phosphates leak into a body of water and the Algae decides to stock up on the nutrients in the phosphates, which are actually good for the Algae. The Algae takes up all of the oxygen and the fish and other inhabitants of the lake, stream, etc. die off from lack of air in the water. There is a limited amount of space for the Algae, so they soon die.
