Home gardens may seem like a small adaptation when thinking about a problem as large as climate change, however that does not mean they cannot make a difference. Having your own garden is a great way to add greenery to your home as well as reduce your CO2 admissions! Your backyard garden can act as a (small) CO2 sink and take in some of the Carbon you produce and turn it back to oxygen! Having a home garden is also a great way to understand the value and work put into your food. When I was younger I would pick something to grow every year and with the help of my mom, I would grow a fruit or veggie. After spending months tending over my plants from seedlings to harvest time I gained a new appreciation for the food I am given. I can never eat a carrot the same again, now I will always think about how my time and effort my carrot plants took to grow. Home gardens are great for teaching kids the value of there food and engage them in a hands-on way to understand the process their food goes through from seedling to plate. My childhood garden taught me not to waste my food and  to only take what I am truly going to eat, majorly cutting down my food waste. If every child was raised knowing the background of there food, maybe they would limit their food waste and produce more food at home or buy it locally, cutting down the CO2 admissions caused my shipping as well as CO2 used on wasted food.
