The benefits of growing your own produce
There are manny benefits of growing your own produce, and some down sides too. The first benefit is that u know where the food is coming from and have vary easy access to it. The second is that it is vary fresh and no pesticides are used. there are some down sides to it. One of which is that it cost money to start up a home growing setup. If indoors then one needs a grow light but if out side it can grow much better.
When you grow your own produce you eliminate the need to transport those products from far away places around the world. U.S. transportation sector is responsible for about a third of our country’s climate-changing emissions. Globally, about 15 percent of manmade carbon dioxide comes from cars, trucks, airplanes, ships and other vehicles. These vehicles have to transport produce to your local grocery store making them a big contributor to climate change. If you have your own garden or raise your own chickens then you can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately help global warming.
