The SAM team (Sustainability at Merici) are selling lettuces grown on site and nurtured in our greenhouse to raise funds for their new team t-shirt.
In addition to supporting our students, growing your own lettuce provides many sustainability benefits:
- Convenient, economical food available to you as needed.
- Save water – home grown food uses less water relative to the amount of food harvested.
Reduce “food miles” - the carbon emissions from the transport and refrigerated storage of fresh food are a significant contributor to climate change. - Reduce packaging.
- Reduce food waste - only harvest what you need when you are ready to eat it.
- Fresher, more nutritious and more delicious organic food.
- Know exactly what you’re eating (e.g. no pesticides)
- Get some exercise and reduce your stress levels.
