Summary Turning A Green Leaf follows the McMillin family of Halifax during a two month period as they attempt to reduce their food carbon footprint - but without changing their diets, giving up their favorite foods, or spending more money. The McMillin family learn where their food comes from by shopping at the Halifax Farmers' Market and visiting several farms in the Annapolis Valley. They receive tips from the Ecology Action Centre about how to calculate their food miles and are pleasantly surprised to learn that they were able to reduce their food carbon footprint by 2/3. Turning A Green Leaf taps into the surging interest amongst consumers in buying locally produced food and demonstrates that you don't need to spend a fortune, radically change your diet, or give up your favorite foods to significantly help out the environment.
