Where the footprint lives
Scope 3 — the supply chain: The organic farming methods reduce upstream chemical and energy inputs, but transport from the West Coast adds to the footprint.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.

- Look for bulk organic greens to reduce plastic waste.
- Local farmers markets often have plastic-free options.
