Although I do not have a garden or want to own one myself, my grandma does and I spent a lot of time in it when I was little. Some benefits to a garden are for environmental well being, it slows down habitat destruction, but also boosts the harbouring of biodiversity in the area as well. There are also some health benefits, it can relieve stress and lower blood pressure.
I think that home grown gardens are excellent and have many benefits. When you have your own gardens, it eliminates the need to travel anywhere to get your fruits, herbs and vegetables. and when you grow your own garden, you have control over what you put in your garden. For example, you can avoid fertilizers and pesticides which can increase greenhouse gases. When you have a home-grown garden, it could also reduce the amount of packaging because you don't need to package your garden foods while in supermarkets they are sometimes packaged. Having a home-grown garden also can make the air around you fresher because the plants absorb the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Overall, I think that home grown gardens are a great way to lower your carbon footprint.
I think is important for everyone to have a garden where ou can gro fruit and vegetables.
To have a lot of good products for the kitchen and because when you eat good food you stay fit and healty, it's a good thing for the environment because you don't buy food from the supermarket whitch has travelled a lot of kilometers producing a lot of pollution.
You make a great point about growing your own food! A lot of people don’t realize how much pollution is tied to the transportation of produce from farms to supermarkets, especially when it comes from faraway regions. By growing fruits and vegetables at home, you're cutting out those emissions and contributing to a healthier environment. Plus, you get the added benefits of fresh, nutritious food and the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your produce comes from. It’s definitely something more people should consider as part of a sustainable lifestyle.
I think it is important for people to grow their own fruits and vegetables because it is healthy products that they are growing in their backyard and it is very convenient for them as well. With people growing fruits and vegetables in their homes, it allows them to save money and enjoy fresh grown food.
I agree because i think it is important to have fruits and vegetables in your life to keep you energized throughout the day. Although there are a lot of people who live in house that do not have backyards or any space in their house to plant any fruits or vegetables. It is a very good idea, but for the people that do not have that space we should find an alternitive solution for them. Like maybe a community held garden where you can bring your own seeds and plant what you want.
Fruits and vegetables are definitely very important to your health. But I don't think everyone needs their own garden to eat healthy. Many people live in small apartments that are not equipped to grow a garden. But growing window-side herbs is a good solution if you want to start gardening but don't have enough space. Many people don't have the time or energy to keep these gardens alive and well even if they do have space and money due to school, work or family. If you live in a big city, often the grocery stores are not that far and you would be going there anyways to get other groceries. Organic fruit and vegetables can be quite expensive and if you are looking to cut costs on these things, growing a garden would be a good thing to look in to.
i think growing a garden is a good way to supplement a lowered carbon footprint and while i don't believe it to be a necessity. I think it is a fairly easy way to lower your carbon footprint and get something back from it but some people do live in apartments with not much space to grow plants. but even if you have little space you can still get a window box, grow some herbs, or even get a plot at a community garden to grow some bonus plants. if you are looking into gardening you should probably be prepared for a fair amount of failure though, gardening is hard sometimes so if you are just getting started i recommend trying to grow something easier like lettuce or potatoes.
you can grow vegetables or fruits in your own balcony or in your garden. it s pretty easy to grow it in your home, you can buy some seeds and plant them, after that, all you have to do is to wait.
Many people do not realize the amount of pollution that is related to the transportation of produce from farms to supermarkets especially when it comes from faraway countries or cities. By growing fruits and vegetables at home you are cutting out many emissions and contributing to a healthier environment. You get the added benefits of fresh, nutritious food and the satisfaction of knowing where your produce comes from. Is is definitely something more people should consider as part of a sustainable lifestyle. which will lead to a cleaner earth and healthier bodies.
There are many benefits to growing food at home, such as lower carbon emissions from not needing to drive to get the food, less use of plastic, no harmful chemicals that damage wildlife and surrounding plants, attracting natural wildlife, and if you have a surplus you can donate to those in need. https://gardeningisgreat.com/benefits-o … -own-food/
Being able to produce your own food is a wonderful privilege that I have experienced and continue to do for myself and my family. At my house we have two main gardens which we switch produce depending on the season but it has mainly produced radishes, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, etc. At times it is not very easy and I have failed many times at different crops however I have learned the importance in being able to make your own food. It is truly a great experience and through gardening I have even began propagating certain seeds and houseplants in order to begin growing them in water before I transplant them into the soil. Through propagating it has taught me a whole new set of skills and challenges but once I learned it can be fairly easy to begin to implement. There are also different styles of propagating and I have not tried too many different styles however the link I am attaching discusses the different kinds and steps to take. Trying out different gardening practices as well as propagating can help you to learn so much about plants and what you are putting into your body. Food is being changed so often lately and not for the good. So it is very important to know what you are putting into your body and what you can do to take small steps to make it better.

Growing your own food is an amazing way to minimize your carbon footprint, and possibly save money in the process. I personally have an at home garden and we grow fruits, vegetables, as well as herbs! It’s also nice knowing that I’m not eating anything that could be bad for me that might be on non local plants, like pesticides. Growing your own food is also a great way to use up your compost, to help naturally fertilize your garden at home without any chemicals. These are some of the many positives of growing your own food at home, and I definitely recommend doing it as not just a way to lower your carbon footprint (although that is a main positive) but as well as a fun and fulfilling activity, knowing that you grew the food you are eating.
i defiantly agree!
Although my family lives in a city and have a very small back yard, we still find space to grow a small vegetable garden. We grow peas, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, and basil.
Vary cool i also have a small garden where we grow tomatoes and other types of plants that we can eat
hope fully by growing these plants i can do my part in reducing our carbon footprint.
This is a great way to reduce our output of CO₂, good work.
How much of an impact will this make on climate change if only you and your family and lowering their carbon admission
Everyone should have a small vegetable garden to avoid constantly buying fruit and vegetables from large producers who use products that pollute the environment to make them grow and last longer.
Eating locally-produced food can significantly contribute to find a solution to the climate crisis and has various environmental and social benefits. Firstly, consuming seasonal, local products reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation and storage. When food doesn't have to travel long distances to reach consumers, it decreases gas emissions which helps mitigate climate change.
Secondly, individuals who have the means, such as those who live in rural areas, can cultivate their own vegetables. Growing your own food not only allows you to reduce the amount of processed and industrial products, but also reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which can cause issues to the ecosystems and contribute to pollution.
Having a food garden can offer a deeply rewarding experience, my grandfather for example has a garden and he is constantly cultivating vegetables not only for himself but also for me. When I eat the vegetables he grows, I immediately notice the difference in taste and freshness compared to the ones i buy at the supermarket.
In conclusion,preferring locally-produced, seasonal food can have a huge impact on the environment and on personal well-being. By growing a personal garden or supporting local farmers, each of us can play a role in promoting a more sustainable food system.
