How Green Is My Orange?

PepsiCo calculated that the equivalent of 3.75 pounds of carbon dioxide is emitted to the atmosphere for each half-gallon carton of orange juice.

The most interesting thing about this article is that the single largest producer of carbon emissions (and over 25% of the emissions overall) is the fertilizer used in the orange orchards. That's roughly comparable to the amount of carbon produced in the distribution of the finished orange juice, from Florida to us here in Oregon.

What if we could completely eliminate the use of all chemical fertilizers as well as reduce the number of food miles by a factor of 100? Well, we can. Buying into a CSA is one good way.
