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?

Watermelon

My family has a couple giant composting bins that we integrate into our garden. This can lead to old seeds sprouting before or during something that we planted is growing. From this, we've gotten a ton of decorative gourds and a watermelon that's doing great.

What should I do if I don't have a yard.  I don't want to have a pile of compost in my kitchen.  This only works for people with a yard.

I've actually heard of people having a bin of composting worms in their apartments, definitely on patios.  here's a link:

YOu dont have to have a yard, Just an open space outside and you can buyt a compost bin from the nearest hardware store, or make one too
