Home and Locally grown food help decrease the amount of traveling. This reduces the number of gases released into the environment from the vehicles used for you to get the products and the vehicles used to transport these products into our area. I do not currently have a garden at home, used to though when I was in my beginning years of elementary school. Home gardens are really fun and better for the environment.

I agree and I like that you talked about how it also saves car gas from being released. I've never thought about that when thinking about how home gardens help the climate problem. I usually think about what you can get from the garden like being able to compost and not have your vegetables wrapped in plastic every time you need some if you choose to grow them. I also have a little garden where my mom grows small things like tea leaves. Home gardens are also really fun.

All your points are very relevant and I totally agree. If one does not live in a space in which they could grow their own food, they should check out their city's or town's local farmer's markets to buy their groceries at. Not only is the food in these markets tastier but they tend to be healthier since they are locally grown. This alternative would significantly reduce one's carbon footprint since local farmers use fewer resources to harvest their crops and don't spend as much fuel and money on transportation.
