Eating home grown foods would help the climate problem because by growing food we would get rid of the chemicals that mass growers put into food. Other benefits would be home grown food would have more nutrients and would help save money on food costs. I have a food garden at my school that we use a lot.
I agree with you considering lots of carbon dioxide is used in the process of making our food. This use of CO2 has a serious effect on our environment and personal health. By eating home or locally grown food, we are able to be aware of how many chemicals are used in the process of growing and making our food. Also, when food is shipped, CO2 is used, and growing our own food can save money and reduce our carbon footprints. My family has been looking into putting a vegetable garden in our backyard in order to eat more home grown foods.
All this information I agree with being true. I think the CO2 we release from processing food is devastating and is heating up the earth to an unsafe level. One way we can reduce the food made in factories is by growing our own food at our houses. This food not only helps the environment but also is better for us to eat. This food doesn't have all the chemicals that the food sold in grocery stores has. Another way growing your own fruits and vegetables helps is that a vegetarian diet produces less carbon dioxide and therefore reduces your carbon foot print. The lower your carbon foot print the more you are helping the environment. A final advantage of home grown produce is you save a lot of money. Growing your own food helps the environment and your self so everyone should start.
