I think that eating locally and organically is extremely important to the environment. By eating food grown locally and supporting the farmers in your surrounding area, you get your food fresher and more conveniently while lowering the carbon footprint caused by transportation of the food. Instead of your money going to big companies, it stays in your area, benefiting people you know and keeping the money within your community. Eating organically grown food is also important because it greatly reduces the use of chemicals and pesticides which are quite harmful to our planet, affecting animals, water sources, and future use of the land, not necessarily in a good way. If more people in our communities have organic gardens at their houses or at least access to fresh food nearby, it will greatly reduce the co2 emissions being released in our atmosphere.
