I am very lucky to be living in the suburbs because I can have a garden and grow my own fruits and vegetables. Not buying that in the supermarket can help the environment, as well as your own health. Unfortunately, not everyone has that privilege, especially if they live in a small apartment. But even then you can have freshly grown food that you can buy at a farmer's market. The problem is that going to the supermarket is much more easier and probably cheaper. But a positive side to eating home grown food is that you help support local farmers in you

I agree! I think it is very important that people use the resources they have. Growing your own food or buying fresh food at a farmer's market is very beneficial. It has many benefits, both to yourself and to the environment. I have had some great experiences with that personally. Growing your own fresh food at home is not only a fun experience but also very tasty!

I agree that it is very important to buy food locally, even if you cannot grow it yourself, because transporting food can use a lot of fuel and energy, and keeping it cold can too. Also, by buying your fruit and vegetables at farmers markets you can help support local businesses, and get to know the people who actually grow your food. Food from farmers markets often tastes better and is more likely to be organic. You can also grow some food at your house, even if you live in a city. You could grow some vegetables in your yard (like lettuce or tomatoes) if you have a small yard, or if you don't have a yard or you live in an apartment, you can still grow things like herbs inside. Growing your own herbs a good option because you will save money from not buying them at the store, and they will be organic.
