If we were to eat just locally that would be easier on the environment. We wouldn't need those big trucks carting our food across America which would mean a lot less pollution. For example, Manghi's Bread, a bakery in Montpelier. They have their friends and neighbors help them make local deliveries of their food, so that they don't have to hire people to drive those shipping trucks around. They do this because it's way easier on the environment. from evelynsaenz

The Academy building is used for suppers and the old bank turned into a library is only used occasionally for book sales. It seems that the only living thing left is the common where grass still grows green in summer and footprints create paths through the snow in winter. from evelynsaenz
