Do you know which 10 fruits have the lowest carbon footprint? It's a stat that's measured by how much water is used to grow it; where the fruit is grown; how much is produced per acre; and how it fares when it’s transported from farm to store. According to a study done by the sustainability minded publication Green City Times, the top 10 most environmentally friendly fruits are figs, apples, berries, pears, cherries, plums, strawberries, watermelon, grapes and limes. Fruits that are grown and sold locally are an even greener option.
