How much does eating locally-produced food help the climate problem? What are the other potential environmental and social benefits of eating locally-grown/produced food? Do you have a food garden in your school or at home? If not, do you want one?

The Local Farmer's Market
Does eating locally grown food help with the fight against climate change? Well, again, I am not 100% sold on the idea of climate change, however, it is a cinch that there are many benefits from locally grown food.
1. If you buy local, and be careful, because just because it is at a farmer's market, does not mean it is local, then you are reducing the amount of gas required to get the food to your table.
2. If you buy local, you are keeping money in your local economy.
3. Locally grown food, usually speaking, is healthier as the farmer's do not put as much pesticide on the produce as commercial farmers do.
