Eating locally-produced food helps the climate problem because if you buy groceries locally it would take less time to get to your house which means less transportation which would harm the environment less. I think a better way for getting food to your house is having a garden at home. This would be so much better for the environment and you would not have to drive to stores as much compared to if you did not have a garden. http://www.gardeners.com/how-to/vegetab … /5069.html

I agree with this because my family has a garden, that produces good organic food. In the summer most of the food that we eat is from our garden. This saves trips to the store and our food is very organic. Though gardens can be a lot of work the produce that comes out of them organic, and is better for the environment. I live in a small town with no grocery store and to get food it is a 15 minute drives one way. With the garden we don't have to make this drive, this is better for our environment, while also getting better food. In the end I think everyone should try to start a garden it could be small, but anything helps.

I absolutely agree with Giovanny because when we get transported goods from other cities, states, and even countries it has a great impact on CO2 in the air and is bad for environment. I feel that every state should have plains and plains of food so they won't have to order from other states. The best way like you said is to even start a garden because that even saves you from getting in your car and driving to Safeway or something, when you already have fresh tomatoes, and other necessities for your well made dinner. Also having chickens can help because you can have fresh eggs from your own backyard. We need to start eating a lot of our locally organic grown foods to help the environment. LET'S MAKE A CHANGE!!!!

I agree with you. I think that if we grow our own food, lowering our CO2 levels for food, we will also lower our transportation CO2 levels as well. In the US our CO2 levels for transportation are fairly high, so I think one way that we can help that is to use homegrown food. I also think that if you go to the store maybe walk instead of driving or ride a bike, Using homegrown food has many great outcomes, like lowering our transportation rates and it is healthier because we know where it came from.
