Eating locally and home grown foods is way better for the environment then packaged foods. At our school we have a garden that grows food for some of the school meals and is eaten by animals on our campus. At my home we have garden and we grow a lot of food that is eaten in our house. Some of the plants seeds are expensive but its a small price pay for a cleaner atmosphere and good home grown food! Having a food garden reduces your carbon footprint and I highly encourage everyone to get one.

We don't realize the amount of garbage we accumulate by just eating packaged foods. Like you said, if we reduce half of the processed and packaged foods with food we grow by ourselves, it would make a huge difference on our planet. Our planet is very important, and we can help save it by growing what we can, instead of buying it.

Pearce M, growing your own food at home but also in school is great idea! While I was typing in my data for carbonate calculator I noticed that we are producing a lot of carbon just with taking plastic bags in shops and of course buying plastic packages. As I said, home grown food is way healthier, not just for us but for our planet too. I hope that we are going to be able to grow our own food for not such high prices...

Pearce M, how cool is that, to have garden in your school. My school doesn’t really care about our planet; the only thing we have there are 3 different trash bins for recycling, but in practice no one is really obeying it..
