How much does eating locally-produced food help the climate problem? What are the other potential environmental and social benefits of eating locally-grown/produced food? Do you have a food garden in your school or at home? If not, do you want one?

Something that I have noticed after taking the carbon footprint test, is that mine significantly lowered after my selection of the option that I buy locally grown food. This made me realize that if we as a society lower the over importation of food and open more local community gardens for everyone, we could eventually be able to lower the carbon footprint of hundreds of people thought the world. Yes, some things would still need to be imported, but if our governments could lower that by at least 30% that could effectively benefit our environment greatly.
