Save Michigan: Buy Local

I am constantly reminded of the importance of  buying locally grown organic foods. It is vital to our health and wellness, as there are thousands of chemicals being pumped into our food supply that we have no control over. We have yet to understand and experience the health effects these chemicals may have on our bodies.

There are various resources that I learn about the importance of organic foods. In particular, this blog (which I love) titled, Amanda Jane, posted about the importance of buying local. Amanda is a graphic designer from Ann Arbor, Michigan who has designed a print series to promote Michigan. You can check out her prints here. This print is one of my favorites as it encourages buying local.
