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?

Home Grown Food
My families consumption was the highest part of my carbon footprint with a kgs of 2672, a little above the average of a Californian. Ways we try to lower our carbon footprint is by growing our own food. We has sections in our garden to grow food, mainly tomato's, and peppers. Although we do not eat meals that are fully home grown it still contributes to lowering our carbon footprint. We spend less gas going to the grocery store, and use less carbon consuming and throwing away food.
Wow Kpazawala! I admire the fact that you grow your food at home- many people do not realize how helpful locally grown food is for the environment. When you home grow or locally buy your food, it is unnecessary to go to the grocery store, plus it reduces the amount of transportation that is needed to bring food into our area. This is a great way to lower your carbon footprint since a lot of people seemed to be affected most by food produce.
