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?

Food Grown at Home
Growing Food at home is also better for the environment because rather than having to drive to the store it is right in your back yard which reduces our carbon footprint. According to http://whosgreenaz.com/2011/02/01/grow- … vironment/ when you grow your own produce, you are nourishing the soil of your garden by planting species that enrich soil and by using fertilizers and other garden products that are of natural origin. You can save money and help the environment at the same time.
I agree with this and growing food at home is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Rather than going out to buy food at the grocery store often, you can grow your own food at home which not only helps the environment but it is saves money and time from your own life.
