Strawberries:
I usually have some fruits between my lunch and dinner time. Strawberries are one of my favourite fruits. I bought Driscoll’s organic strawberries from Urban Fare supermarket.
Production: According to Driscoll’s website, the strawberries are planted and harvested throughout an organic processes that “emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations”. The company’s focus on producing an organic product by using renewable energy sources led them to save a significant amount of fossil fuels.
Packaging: The strawberries are sold in plastic packages which is not sustainable and requires special machinery to be made.
Delivery: The strawberries that I purchased were shipped from California which is 1800km away from Vancouver.
