Eating locally helps the climate problem massively because the mass growers use chemicals that harm the environment and the shipping process of produce has a big impact on the earth. By eating local food, you also know how the animals are treated if you are using dairy products and you know what they are fed. If produce is not having to be shipped from the factories where it is packaged, it will save time, plastic, and all of the gas used to ship. My family used to have chickens but we had to get rid of them and we do grow some of our own food like kale, lemons, and other herbs. Knowing where your food is coming from is a comforting feeling especially when you see the things that go into factory farmed produce.

I agree with Jessie. The chemicals that are used to grow foods are having serious and detrimental effects on our environment and personal health. Our earth as we know it, is on a track of serious food modifying that will only lead to harm.

I agree with you. Lots of carbon dioxide is emitted through the growing/making food and through the transportation. I think a great idea to limit carbon dioxide emissions would be to have a community farmers market which would encourage local farmers to sell more of their food and also offer the public more of a chance to get that food. This would then reduce the amount of food being transported into the community.
