Try to limit purchases of canned fruit, and substitute fresh fruit whenever possible. The process involved with canning fruit is at least 10 times more energy intensive than picking fresh fruit.  If every U.S. household replaced just one pound of canned or jarred fruit with one pound of fresh fruit during each of the three summer months, the total energy saved could operate the kitchen appliances of over 21,000 households for an entire year.
