I think one of the main issues when it comes to coming up with ways to improve carbon emissions is the cost of it. Although purchasing organic food is better and less harmful to the environment, it is not an accessible option for many. Organic food tends to be way more expensive than processed food, which happens to be a much cheaper option. What people should do if purchasing organic food isn’t affordable is start setting up gardens in their home so their food is healthier and cheaper.

I agree with this, people should start setting up gardens.

I think it would be an amazing idea to start growing our own gardens. It would be affordable instead of having to spend a lot of money in stores to get produce and, If you have any left over produce you can donate it to people in need or you could also make a profit out of it as well.

I truly agree with you that food waste can be very harmful for the environment. It causes lots of food waste, and plastic not being thrown out properly. I also totally agree that a greater effort needs to be made into recycling food waste from restaurants since it is becoming a must that needs to be done.

I agree with your statement. Although not all people have access to outside areas to grow food. Depending on the setup, community gardens could also be an option.

a major setback for lot of people is prices. often, organic and whole foods are much more expensive then heavily processed factory foods that come in bulk. however, if grocery stores could gather all the local and organic foods that don't come from large factories, and put them in a section with clear prices, that could greatly help. often times, people lack motivation to look for more environmentally friendly options, so if all those options were easy to find with comparable prices, that would be great.

I agree with your statement as well. Organic food is also harder to maintain, as it does not have preservatives and other chemicals to make it last longer. it is also common for humans to use substances to increase the growth of crops and vegetables. Meanwhile organic food takes much more time and care to nurture and grow. This is why if everyone starts a home garden, organic food will be more abundant and easier to access overall.

I agree. This also shows why garden clubs at schools are so important because it allows students to eat healthy, organic food while helping with climate change, and learning a skill that can be used forever. Since there are so many of us (students) to feed, it also ensures that these crops are not wasted. By growing organic food, we can take some carbon out of the air, and feed ourselves as well. Since schools also have a bigger area on where we can grow crops, it is much more efficient. As you said, it takes a long time for these foods to grow, and we might only be able to grow a few crops at home, meanwhile at school, we could grow five times or more, than we usually would at home.

I agree with you, organic food is usually more expensive than non organic food making most people reach for the non organic/cheaper option. I do also agree that people should grow at least a bit of their food but one thing to think about is that with city populations going up more apartment buildings and condos are going up. With people who live in apartments usually don't have enough space for everyone in them or even most people to have gardens. Even if each building had a communal garden not everyone would benefit from it. though its a good place to start and if you have your own property starting a small garden is a great idea.
