Going to your local farmers' market can be beneficial in the reduction of gas usage. When individuals buy products from outside their general region, the process of transporting the items requires different forms of transportation. Products are often shipped in large amounts, so they require large vehicles like airplanes, trucks, or ships. All of these use a lot of gas, increasing the use of unsustainable fossil fuels. If people buy from their local sources, less transportation is required. It is also more likely that individuals have a say in how local materials are produced, meaning people can make a difference in the sustainability of farms and other groups.

I agree, going to your local farmers market is better for the environment as it doesn't go through the process of mutating it like with a company. Companies like to mess with their fruits to make them stay fresh longer which can make them less healthy. In contrast, farmers like to market theirs as organic and not messed around with in a lab.

Good point, buying locally is better for helping to save our environment as shorter commutes for the food helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Your food will also be less likely to contain preservatives as the food doesn’t need to travel a long way to reach the destination. The food grown locally can also be better for you as local food producers tend to use more natural pest repellents rather than the larger farms who most likely mass spray their crops. Eating locally can also help you have a more balanced diet as you will be more likely to buy fruits and veggies rather than packages and processed foods from your grocery market.

I completely agree, buying locally can reduce the amount of driving you need to get to place to place, helping reduce the amount of carbon getting emitted into the air. Your foods, most likely organic, are much less likely to contain preservatives, and toxic chemicals sprayed onto the foods. These foods also endure less travel, making it better for the environment because these huge trucks need a lot of gas, and produce a lot of carbon on their long trips to grocery stores. Locally grown crops, most local food producers and growers are more likely to spray pest repellents rather than larger farms most likely do not spray their crops. Eating healthy, and locally can help with a better gut because the toxins that aren’t in these foods and more balanced diet, as you are more likely to buy fruits and veggies rather than package foods.
