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?

I think it is extermely important that home growing, local farms and local products get more acknowlgement. It decreases the amount of mass production in the food idustry, causing less air pollution in the process. Keeping your food organic and earth healthy is something that benefits people both in their physical selves and the enviroment. Unfortunetly many do not have the financial stability to be able to buy from organic local sources, so growing your own food is a simple solution, even just a little bit, it helps.

I definitely agree. I found it useful adding the part about what people can do even if they might be financially unstable or have trouble with financial stability. I found it useful because it shows people that even if you're in a position where pitching in and helping the environment might be more difficult for some more than others, they can still help in small, simple ways.

That is so true. Buying locally grown food is a great way to reduce carbon footprints. The food we buy from other places has to travel, which uses fuel.

This is so true. The long process food goes through before it is sold is often ignored.
