Growing your own food in a home garden is a very good idea and helps the climate problem greatly. According to http://nj-green.org/blog/growing-your-o … e-change/, growing your own food can help reverse climate change. Growing food in your own home garden reduces the number of miles food has to travel to get to your table, and fixes carbon in the soil. Locally-produced food is carried on trucks for an average of 44.6 miles to get to our grocery stores in comparison to the 1,500 miles it takes to bring the food to the same stores using the conventional system of semi-trailer trucks coming from farms far away. So, buying locally grown food means less miles are being traveled to transfer the food which equals less carbon dioxide emitted into the air. Not only should you eat food grown locally, but you should go a step farther and create your own home garden. The average gardener invests $70 and reaps a $600 harvest. So, not only are you improving the environment, but you are making more money in the process! Also, gardening can give you extreme h ealth benefits, ranging from an improved mood to a lower risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and dementia. At this time, I do not have a home garden. But, after doing research on this topic, I am going to try to start one very soon.
