Courtney and Alex go to a supermarket for a snack after a fun day at the Museum of Mathematics. The girls investigate where the fruit for sale comes from. The answer? All over the world! But while it's nice to have bananas in any season, the friends realize that food from afar causes lots of pollution. Instead, food that is grown nearby has to travel fewer miles and is better for the environment.
